✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Suntory's 'Old Whisky' is one of Japan's most iconic spirits, first introduced in 1950 and affectionately nicknamed 'Daruma' for its distinctive round, black bottle. This highly collectible 'Expo 90' edition was specially blended and released to commemorate the International Garden and Greenery Exposition held in Osaka in 1990—the very city where founder Shinjiro Torii established the company in 1899. Crafted using key malt whiskies from the historic Yamazaki Distillery alongside high-quality grain whiskies, this blend represents the classic mid-century Japanese style. It delivers a harmonious profile of sweet vanilla, dried fruit, toasted oak, and a whisper of peat smoke, celebrating both Suntory's blending mastery and a landmark moment in Osaka's modern 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.
