Suntory Kakubin, which translates to 'square bottle,' is a legendary cornerstone of Japanese spirits history. First blended in 1937 by Suntory's visionary founder, Shinjiro Torii, Kakubin was crafted to suit the delicate Japanese palate. This rare 60th Anniversary bottling, presented in a commemorative box, celebrates six decades of this iconic blend. The signature tortoise-shell glass design, inspired by traditional Japanese 'Kagome' cut glass, reflects both elegance and a wish for long life. Utilizing premium malt whiskies from Suntory's historic Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, the blend is aged predominantly in bourbon casks. This imparts a signature profile of sweet aromas, rich yellow apple, and a dry, clean finish that has made it a beloved staple of Japanese Izakaya culture.

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.
