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 is a limited release bottle from theSuntory W.Shop-Osaka. In March 2016, Suntory's W.Shop closed its doors.There will be no more releases of W.Whiskies and so they are becoming increasingly hard to find.
