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. Within, the bottle holds Suntory Yamazaki whisky from 1996, making it a very rare expression. The special release was made in collaboration with a Japanese Arita ceramics company. The kanji on the bottle means “long life”.
