Suntory is the oldest whisky making company in Japan. Its origins stretch back to a small shop, started in 1899 by Torii Shinjiro, which specialized in selling imported wines. Today, it is the country’s largest and most recognizable producer of quality whisky. Of all its products, the Hibiki remains the most popular, having been chosen as the best whisky in the world on several occasions. This Hibiki Century 2001 was bottled in a memorable bottle in 2001 to celebrate a century of Suntory whisky, as well as the beginning of the 21st century.
