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.

While world-renowned for its legendary whisky blending heritage—exemplified by iconic labels like Hibiki and Suntory Old Whisky—the company has also championed Japanese viticulture since acquiring the historic Tomi No Oka Winery in Yamanashi in 1936. Embracing a philosophy of harmony between Japanese nature and craftsmanship, Suntory produces elegant, terroir-driven red and white wines alongside its celebrated spirits portfolio. Today, their wine-making legacy spans from the slopes of Mount Fuji to prestigious estates in Bordeaux, reflecting an uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation.
