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 single cask whisky was distilled in 1996 and aged in Cask no AX70012 before being bottled in 2009 for the Whisky Live's 10th Anniversary Celebration in Japan and London. This is a rare bottling!
