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. Every year, the company releases a number of handmade, hand painted ceramic bottlings containing a special Suntory blended whisky. This particular Signature Arita Somenishiki Fukuju whisky is a handmade ceramic bottle with Japanese illustrations. This bottle is a limited collector’s item.
