  • 90Th ANNIVERSARY of SUNTORY WHISKY
    Press kit 90th Anniversary *L’art japonais du whisky depuis 1923 th 90 ANNIVERSARY OF SUNTORY WHISKY e Art of Japanese Whisky, an art of heritage and innovation On the road to its centennial, the House of Suntory Whisky marks its 90th anniversary of whisky making. Inspired by heritage and innovation, this richly experienced House dared to make Japanese Whisky a reality by tirelessly reinventing whisky to create a true form of art. It has been 90 years since founding father, Shinjiro Torii, built the first whisky distillery in Yamazaki, Japan in 1923, where this new “art of whisky making” was born. In 2012, Japanese whisky made another global breakthrough with Suntory being named Distiller of the Year for the third time in three years. For the past year, the global progress of Suntory Whisky has been nothing less than outstanding. To highlight, global shipments of e Yamazaki increased by 24% while e Hakushu increased by a remarkable 187%. None of this success has happened by chance. The same meticulous effort will be present throughout all of the ambitious projects to come in 2013. 1923 - 2013 Suntory Whisky, a legacy of three generations of innovators It all began with a man who dreamed of making a true Japanese Whisky to complement the Japanese palate. The visionary, Shinjiro Torii, established Japan’s first distillery in Yamazaki on the periphery of Kyoto. The quest was then handed to his son, Keizo Saji, who sought to create a unique taste and establish a second distillery in Hakushu, located deep within the forest of Japan’s Southern Alps.

  • Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey 220 Years of Experience Goes Into Every Bottle of Jim Beam Bourbon
    American Whiskey Bourbon Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey 220 years of experience goes into every bottle of Jim Beam Bourbon. An aging process of four years in new charred oak barrels gives Jim Beam its elegant, refined and smooth character. With a slightly spicy, oaky vanilla aroma, this medium-bodied bourbon brings mellow hints of caramel, vanilla, grain and oak flavor with a lightly sweet, toasted oak finish. Sip it neat, on the rocks or mix it up in any number of bourbon- or whiskey- centered cocktails like a Spring Breeze or Berry Julep. Jim Beam's extra aging creates an elegant, smooth and refined whiskey that pleases with every sip. After seven generations and 30 family members of master distillers, the Jim Beam family tradition continues today. In 2005, Frederick Booker Noe III, the great-grandson of Jim Beam, filled the 10 millionth barrel of Jim Beam, keeping the tradition of Jacob Beam alive for the next generation of bourbon drinkers. ABV 37% AGING 4 years SIZES 50 ml, 200 ml, 375 ml, 700 ml, 1 L, 1.75 L, 3 L, 4.5 L Tasting Notes Color: Light caramel Aroma: Oaky vanilla, spicy backdrop Taste: Medium-bodied, mellow, hints of caramel and vanilla Finish: Toasted oak with some sweetness OTHER JIM BEAM BOURBON WHISKEY EXPRESSIONS Jim Beam Apple Bourbon Whiskey Jim Beam Honey Bourbon Whiskey Jim Beam Black Bourbon Whiskey Tequila White/Silver Sauza Silver Tequila According to legend, when the Spanish conquistadors ran out of the brandy they brought from Europe, they began to distill a local agave drink, which became North America’s first indigenous distilled spirit.

For this reason, each distillery was built in areas with different humidity level and altitudes, which are both factors that greatly affect the maturation, and so, final flavour profile of a whisky. 1/6 The Yamazaki distillery is located just outside Kyoto and is Japan’s most popular distillery. Its expressions are also the most awarded worldwide. Hakushu, also known as the forest distillery, creates smokier, more floral whiskies, while the Chita distillery is the company’s dedicated grain whisky distillery, creating grain whiskies that are either bottled or used in Suntory’s blended whiskies. The famed Hibiki whisky range is created from spirit from all three sites. For a perfect entry into Suntory’s wonderful whisky range we recommend you try: Yamazaki Single Malt 12-Year-Old Hibiki Harmony Hakushu Single Malt Nikka - Yoichi & Miyagikyo Nikka has two active whisky making plants, the Yoichi and the Miyagikyo distilleries.

  • How Japanese Whisky Became the World's Best
    How Japanese Whisky Became the World’s Best vogue.com/article/how-japanese-whisky-became-the-worlds-best 1/5 2/5 Tasting Room at Suntory Yamazaki distillery Photo: Alamy In the eyes of many spirits fans, Scotch is to fine whisky as Champagne is to fine wine—the indisputable best. Yet over the last few years, whisky connoisseurs have become increasingly enamored with whiskies from Japan, many of them similar to single-malt Scotches in their methods and composition, but with a character all their own. The history of whisky in Japan stretches back a century, and does find its roots in Scotch, in particular. Its pioneer, a Japanese man by the name of Masataka Taketsuru, journeyed to Scotland in 1918 to learn the trade. After apprenticing at three distilleries, he returned to Japan as the master distiller for the Suntory company in 1923, eventually beginning distillation in his own enterprise, which would come to be called Nikka, in 1936. (Today, Nikka and Suntory remain the two major names in the industry.) But decades elapsed before the spirit took off. In the United States, the demand for Japanese whisky kicked off when certain prized bottles began to earn international acclaim. In 2001, Whisky Magazine honored Nikka’s 10-Year Yoichi as its “Best of the Best.” Other awards ensued, and the spirit drew greater attention still when Suntory’s Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013, remarkably, beat out all other nations and was named the world’s best whisky by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible in 2015.
