SUNTORY
Japan
The creation of the Suntory brand is the work of Mr. Shinjiro Torii. Beginning with wine and other spirits at the end of the 19th century he finally began producing whisky in the 1920’s in Kyoto. Since then Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki have become household names and won global competitions for best whisky on multiple occasions. From the humble whisky highball to the Yamazaki 50 Year Single Malt, Suntory is indisputably the parent of the Japanese Whisky movement.
