RARE
This ultra limited edition whisky is a literal bottling of time from the distillery's history. The liquid was first laid down in the 1960s during the Japanese "Showa" era, which was a pivotal time for the distillery. It is a blend of single malts with two distinct components: One was distilled in 1960 under the supervision of Suntory’s founder Shinjiro Torii and then aged in Mizunara casks, another in 1964 under Suntory’s Second Master Blender Keizo Saji and then aged in White Oak casks.
Suntory’s Fifth-Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo worked closely with Third-Generation Master Blender Shingo Torii in creating the final product. It is bottled at 46% ABV and limited to only 100 bottles in Japan, the US, UK, Mainland China and Taiwanese markets as of September 9, 2021. .
