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 Pure Malt 12 year old is yet another winning blend from the company. Distilled at Yamazaki - the country's oldest distillery - and coming with an attractive price label, it is a safe bet that you will get what you pay for.
