Frequently asked questions
Suntory Old Whisky, Gourd Shaped (No Box) — the questions we are asked most.
What is Suntory Old Whisky?
A Japanese blended whisky first released by Suntory in 1950 and a fixture of Japan's domestic whisky category ever since.
Why is it gourd-shaped?
The bottle is presented in a hyōtan (gourd) form rather than the standard Old bottle — a shape used by Suntory across several commemorative and limited runs of the Old blend.
Does the bottle come with its original box?
No. Original outer box is not present with this bottle — hence 'no box' in the title. Label good, fill at good shoulder.
What is the ABV and format?
43% ABV in a 70cl (700 ml) bottle.
