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. This particular owner’s cask whisky comes from the Hakushu distillery and was matured in white oak for 11 years, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and finely balanced dram.
