✨ Technical Specifications
Suntory's 'Sui' is a contemporary Japanese gin that represents a modern frontier for the historic producer, classified here under the 'Other' category as a distilled spirit. Released to celebrate the harmony of Japanese nature and craftsmanship, 'Sui' (which translates to 'jade') is crafted using a combination of eight traditional gin botanicals alongside three signature Japanese botanicals: yuzu, green tea, and ginger. Distilled at Suntory's historic Osaka plant, this spirit is designed specifically to complement everyday dining, offering a crisp, refreshing profile dominated by bright citrus, earthy tea undertones, and a clean, spicy ginger finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii in Osaka, Japan, Suntory began as a small wine merchant before revolutionizing the beverage industry by pioneering authentic Japanese whisky with the opening of the Yamazaki Distillery in 1923. Guided by the visionary spirit of 'Yatte Minahare'—to dream big and embrace bold challenges—the house developed a philosophy centered on refined craftsmanship and deep reverence for nature. Over the decades, Suntory expanded into a global powerhouse, extending its expertise into premium wine, gin, liqueurs, and international spirits through strategic acquisitions across Scotland, Europe, and North America. Today, the producer is celebrated worldwide for its iconic, harmonious expressions, particularly the globally acclaimed Hibiki blended whisky series, distinguished single malts, and a diverse range of finely balanced spirits.
