Suntory

Purveyor of fine spirits, wine and whisky, Suntory is a Japanese brand with an international reputation. Shinjiro Torii founded Suntory at the turn of the 20th century during the Meiji era, with the aim of bringing a Japanese sensibility to western-style liquor.  Suntory is perhaps best-known for its smooth single malts. Torii built the Yamazaki Distillery in 1923, nestled in the verdant foothills of Mount Tennozan near Kyoto - it was Japan's very first distillery. Environmental factors like lush forests and a unique climate impact the taste of Japanese whisky. You'll find it's less peaty in flavour than its Scottish counterparts. Shop our pick of signature Suntory whiskies and premium blends that are aged in native wooden casks with the pure waters of the Japanese Alps. Look out for exclusive, limited edition bottles housing innovative flavours for an exceptional dram.  Single malts aside, Suntory also specialises in premium spirits. Suntory gin is meticulously made from a selection of Japanese botanicals. Haku vodka is distilled from hakumai" white rice for a luminous, crystal-clear finish and an ever-so-subtle sweetness. Suntory spirits also make an ideal gift for the connoisseur in your life. Select a diminutive set of miniatures or a standout bottle for their table centrepiece.
