Massan
Week 15: "We meet, only to part"
Episode 86 (1/13/2015)
RECAP:
Massan has returned to being head of the whisky distillery. Ellie is at home doing dishes when he comes home with a bunch of his coworkers to celebrate his return. Ellie is not happy about this and tells him that she has nothing to prepare for their party. He tells her that she doesn't need to prepare anything and in walks Eichiro with food.
Everyone toasts with whisky and Massan gives a little speech saying that from now on they will work hard to make a whisky that can be accepted by Japanese people. Eichiro asks him if he isn't going to aim for the real "Highland Celtic" whisky but Massan tells him that he is done with that for now.
Massan continues the party with lots of singing and dancing and drinks until he falls asleep. Ellie begins to wonder what is going on with Massan as he is not usually like this.
The next day, Massan begins his task of making a new whisky. He starts by searching his barrels to find malt whisky with the least smokey favor to it to be blended next and once he comes up with a new blend, he finds that his next challenge is the strong aroma of the peat.
That night, Eichiro comes over for dinner and they drink their beloved "Highland Celtic" whisky while lamenting that "this is good whisky."
Ellie is still worried about Massan's behavior as he just doesn't seem to be himself lately and goes to talk to Catherine about it. However, Catherine and Haru both agree that time has gone by since they married causing Massan to change a little and that it's probably nothing to worry about.
Time passes and fall approaches while Massan has still not been successful in making a whisky that is easy to drink.
