✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Suntory's 'Royal' blend was first introduced in 1960 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the company's founding. It holds a legendary status as the final blend masterminded by Shinjiro Torii himself, representing the culmination of his lifelong quest to craft a spirit tailored to the refined Japanese palate. The bottle's distinctive silhouette is inspired by the traditional Torii gate standing at the entrance to the Yamazaki Distillery's Shinto shrine, while the stopper resembles the roof of the shrine. This historic blend brings together mature malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu with high-quality grain whiskies, resulting in a rich, complex profile featuring notes of dried fruit, honey, subtle peat, and Japanese oak (Mizunara).
🍾 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.
