✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Suntory's legacy of blending is legendary, tracing back to founder Shinjiro Torii's vision of creating a spirit that perfectly suited the delicate Japanese palate. The Blended Silver Square Bottle 12 Years Old (4th Release) represents a highly collectible chapter in this blending history. Housed in an elegant square bottle—a design motif inspired by traditional Japanese cut glass (Satsuma Kiriko) first introduced with the iconic Kakubin in 1937—this rare expression showcases the pinnacle of Japanese blending craftsmanship. It brings together carefully selected malt and grain whiskies aged for at least 12 years, drawing from the diverse cask profiles of Suntory's historic distilleries. The resulting spirit is celebrated for its harmonious balance, offering a complex nose of dried orchard fruits, subtle Mizunara oak spice, and a smooth, velvety palate with a clean, lingering finish.
🍾 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.
