✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This rare commemorative bottling from Suntory marks a historic milestone in Japanese whisky culture. Released in 2007, this 15-year-old blended malt was created to celebrate the prestigious Suntory Open golf tournament—coincidentally, 2007 was the final year of this legendary tournament, which began in 1973. Crafted by Suntory's master blenders, this expression brings together exceptional single malts from the pioneer Yamazaki distillery and the forest-sheltered Hakushu distillery. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit reflecting the harmony of Japanese nature, characterized by rich orchard fruits, delicate spice, a touch of Mizunara oak, and a whisper of peat smoke. Housed in a collectible bottle, it represents both a liquid treasure and a piece of Japanese sporting history.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Suntory blev grundlagt i 1899 af Shinjiro Torii i Osaka, Japan. Huset startede oprindeligt som en beskeden vinhandel, men revolutionerede siden drikkevareverdenen, da de i 1923 grundlagde Yamazaki Distillery og dermed banede vejen for autentisk japansk whisky. Drevet af pionerånden 'Yatte Minahare' – modet til at drømme stort og favne dristige udfordringer – udviklede huset en filosofi forankret i sublimt håndværk og en dyb ærefrygt for naturen. Gennem årtierne voksede Suntory til et globalt kraftcenter, som udvidede sit repertoire til også at omfatte førsteklasses vin, gin, likører og internationale spirituskategorier via strategiske opkøb i Skotland, Europa og Nordamerika. I dag er producenten verdensberømt for sine harmoniske og ikoniske kreationer – anført af den internationalt hyldede Hibiki-serie af blended whisky, raffinerede single malts og en mangfoldig portefølje af helstøbt, balanceret spiritus.
