✨ Technical Specifications
The Suntory Blended Granville Collection 'World Posters VI' is a rare, highly collectible release from Suntory's spirits and brandy portfolio, rather than a traditional grape wine. Celebrating the intersection of fine European art and Japanese blending mastery, this series features elegant ceramic decanters adorned with iconic Belle Époque poster art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inside is a premium blend of Japanese brandy, meticulously aged in oak casks. This collection showcases Suntory's historic blending heritage, which began with founder Shinjiro Torii's vision of creating Western-style spirits tailored to the Japanese palate. The liquid is characterized by its deep amber hue, rich dried fruit aromas, subtle oak spices, and a velvety, harmonious finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii as Torii Shoten in Osaka, Suntory is the pioneer of Japanese whisky and one of the world’s preeminent drinks conglomerates. Guided by Torii's defining philosophy of 'Yatte Minahare' (go for it), the house constructed Japan’s first malt whisky distillery at Yamazaki in 1923, chosen for the pure soft water where three rivers converge at the base of Mount Tennozan, followed by the alpine, heavily forested Hakushu distillery in 1973. While globally renowned for spirits, Suntory also champions domestic Japanese viticulture, notably cultivating native Koshu and Muscat Bailey A under sustainable viticultural regimes in Yamanashi and Nagano. Distillation and maturation reflect consummate technical precision, utilizing diverse copper pot still profiles and wood regimes spanning ex-bourbon, Spanish sherry butts, and indigenous Mizunara oak. Benchmark expressions include Yamazaki Single Malt, Hakushu, Hibiki, Kakubin, and Japan Premium Koshu, epitomizing Suntory’s dedication to balance, subtle complexity, and ethereal harmony.
