✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Suntory Old Whisky is one of Japan's most iconic and historically significant spirits, first introduced in 1950 after being developed during the challenging years of World War II. Affectionately nicknamed 'Kuromaru' (the black round one) due to its distinctive, stout black bottle inspired by traditional Japanese lacquerware, this blend became a symbol of Japan's post-war economic resurgence. Crafted using traditional blending techniques pioneered by Shinjiro Torii, it delivers a rich, smooth, and slightly sweet flavor profile with notes of vanilla, mild oak, and dried fruits. Historically served in Japanese izakayas as 'Mizuwari' (mixed with cold water and ice), it represents a democratic luxury that helped shape modern Japanese whisky culture.
🍾 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.
