Suntory Old Whisky, first introduced in 1950, is one of Japan's most iconic and historically significant blended whiskies. Created by Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory, its release was delayed by the hardships of World War II, making its eventual debut a symbol of Japan's post-war cultural and economic resurgence. Affectionately nicknamed 'Kuromaru' (the black round one) due to its distinctive, stout black bottle inspired by traditional Japanese lacquerware, this blend represents the quintessential mid-century Japanese palate. Crafted using a blend of malt and grain whiskies primarily sourced from the historic Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, it offers a smooth, medium-bodied profile with rich oak, sweet vanilla, and subtle peat smoke, capturing the harmonious spirit of Japanese craftsmanship. This gift set includes the classic bottle accompanied by two branded glasses, celebrating the traditional Japanese 'Mizuwari' (water and ice) or highball serving rituals.

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.
