Whisky Suntory - The soul of Japanese whisky

Since the Yamazaki distillery was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Suntory has been synonymous with the perfection of Japanese whisky. As the oldest commercial whisky distillery in Japan, Suntory has not only shaped the domestic spirits culture, but has also set standards worldwide. Today, the empire comprises three major distilleries - Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita - each of which produces unique characters.

Yamazaki, the flagship distillery near Kyoto, produces complex, multi-award-winning single malts with notes of Mizunara oak, ripe fruit and delicate smoke. Hakushu, located in the fresh mountain region, surprises with grassy, minty and slightly smoky flavours reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands. Chita, on the other hand, specialises in elegant grain whiskies, which serve as the basis for Suntory's legendary blends.

Suntory has become famous above all for its harmonious blends such as "Hibiki", whose 21-year-old bottling has been honoured several times as the best blend in the world. The art of blending reaches an almost poetic dimension at Suntory, where every component is perfectly balanced.

More than just a whisky brand, Suntory embodies the Japanese philosophy of "monozukuri" - dedication to perfection in craftsmanship. Inspired by Torri's vision, Suntory combines traditional methods with an innovative spirit to create whiskies of timeless elegance. Every sip tells of the soul of Japan - fine, complex and unforgettable.
