Housed in an exquisite, hand-crafted Arita-yaki porcelain decanter, this rare millennium release from Suntory represents a fusion of traditional Japanese ceramic artistry and master blending. Arita ware, originating from the Saga Prefecture in the early 17th century, is celebrated for its delicate white porcelain and intricate hand-painted designs. To mark the turn of the millennium in 2000, Suntory selected some of its finest aged malt and grain whiskies from its legendary distilleries, such as Yamazaki and Hakushu, to create a harmonious blend. This collector's piece showcases the Japanese philosophy of 'Monozukuri' (the art of handcrafting) and 'Wa' (harmony), which is reflected both in the elegant liquid and the stunning ceramic vessel.
