Suntory Old Whisky is a series of especially mature whisky from Suntory, first released in 1950. The company occasionally releases new bottles of this brand, and this particular bottle was released to celebrate the Year of the Cow. The whisky has a scent of marmalade and varnish, with somewhat faint earth and undergrowth notes. The taste reminds us of caramel, with grainy harshness and plastics peeking through; although it is somewhat suppressed.
