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 a 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. He later left the company to found his own.

This Special Reserve was originally released in 1969 to commemorate Suntory's 70th anniversary. Ever since a batch appear here and there with a new label and recipe. It is said that two of the main components are Hakushu that was aged in white oak and sherry casks.

40% ABV / 70cl
