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 bottle was distilled in 1996 and aged in a single cask type barrel. It was exclusively bottled and presented with an original box. This is a very good whisky.
