One of the Japanese whisky giants; Kotobukiya, or, as we know them today, Suntory. The company was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899, first as an importer of western liquor. As he progressed within the business he decided to build Japan's first distillery. This is where Masataka Taketsuru comes into the picture - he was hired as a distillery executive at Yamazaki.

Apparently taking inspiration from nature, Suntory ELK was launched in 1985. Matured in white oak barrels using rye from Suntory Japan, the process is similar to the way Canadian whiskey is produced.

40% ABV / 72cl
