Suntory Very Rare Old Whisky Gift Pack with 2 Glasses Japanese Blended Whisky (1970s) 76cl

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 an importer of Western wines and liquor. As he progressed within the business, he decided to build Japan's first distillery despite protests from company directors. This is where Masataka Taketsuru comes into the picture. He was hired as a distillery executive at Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto. He later left the company to found his own. Suntory developed Japan's interest with whisky by opening Torys bars throughout the country and introducing ways to drink and enjoy the spirit. Now they produce numerous ranges including Yamazaki, Hibiki, and Hakushu.

This bottle is from the 1970s.

The gift pack box itself is a little aged and its condition is in the photographs.

It has a 43% ABV 86 Proof
