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 largest and most recognizable whisky maker in Japan. The Suntory Royal is a series of blended whiskies. Blended using over twenty different malts, this particular 12 year old 2001 bottle has a soft and rich taste, which reminds many of the Yamazaki 12 year old. This bottle means “Long Life”. If you have yet to try out Suntory Royal, then here is your chance!
