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.

Founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii in Osaka, Japan, Suntory has grown from a pioneering wine importer into a global powerhouse of fine wines and spirits. 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.
