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. “The Owner’s Cask” is a whisky made from the best cask in the distillery, and is exclusively bottled from a cask chosen by the owner himself. This particular Hakushu Owner’s Cask bottle was distilled in 2000 and was aged until 2011. This is a Smoky and Bitter release presented with original box and certificate.
