Suntory created this whisky to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 1969 and ever since it has been well received. The whisky is a blend of Chita grain, Yamazaki, Hakushu malts matured in first fill American oak barrels. This has created a whisky that is creamy and complex as well as fruity with proportionally higher percent of Hakushu malt that imparts classic Hakushu notes of stewed green apples.

Our Tasting Notes

Finish: This whisky sticks around the palate and leaves behind creamy apple custard, walnuts and spice.
