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 Hakushu Single Cask was distilled in 1996 and aged in Cask no AB40198 before being bottled in 2007 for the Japanese Financial Newspaper. Presented with a box with only219bottles ever released. This is a rare one!
