Suntory Ao Smoky Pleasure

$249.99

With supplies of Suntory’s prolific line of Japanese Whisky becoming increasingly constrained, many people were wondering how the company could continue its legacy of innovation. It was only a matter of time before Suntory shared a vision that had likely been years in the making. In January 2019 they lifted the veil and fans around the world were introduced to the next chapter in Suntory Whisky – the Suntory Ao World Blend. The release was a resounding success, with the supplies of the limited release soon running low. Then, Suntory followed up with phase 2 – a second limited batch of this groundbreaking expression that was initially only be available in Japan. Now, it’s time for the third world blended whisky in the series, The Suntory Ao Smoky Pleasure. This one is another small batch release and it brings unique, building smoky notes to the smooth, fruity whisky.
