{"title":"Suntory","description":"\u003cp\u003eSuntory is the house behind Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki, three of the best known names in Japanese whisky, and behind Roku gin. On this page you will find single malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu, the Hibiki and Toki blends, Chita single grain and both versions of Roku.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuntory and the Birth of Japanese Whisky\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story starts in Osaka in 1899, when Shinjiro Torii opened a shop called Torii Shoten to sell imported wines. In 1923 he built Yamazaki, the first malt whisky distillery in Japan, and the following year put Masataka Taketsuru in charge of it. Taketsuru had studied in Glasgow and learned the craft in Scottish distilleries, and the first whisky from Yamazaki was ready in 1929. In 2014 Suntory bought the American spirits company Beam, and the group has been called Suntory Global Spirits since May 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eYamazaki, Hakushu and Chita: Three Suntory Whisky Distilleries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYamazaki single malt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamazaki sits in Shimamoto, between Osaka and Kyoto. Its malts are rich and fruity, with dried fruit and sweet spice, and the distillery is known for casks made from mizunara, a Japanese oak that gives notes often compared to sandalwood and incense. Here you can pick from Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve, Yamazaki 12 Year Old, Yamazaki 18 Year Old, the 18 Year Old Mizunara, and the special releases Golden Promise and Islay Peated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHakushu single malt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHakushu was founded in 1973 in the forest on the slopes of Mount Kaikoma, in Yamanashi Prefecture. The style is fresher and greener than Yamazaki, with herbal notes and often a light touch of smoke. Hakushu 18 Year Old is here in its classic version and as the Peated Malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChita single grain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChita, on the coast of Aichi Prefecture near Nagoya, opened in 1972 and makes Suntory's grain whisky. Suntory Chita is light and soft, with citrus and a gentle sweetness, and Chita grain is a key building block in both Hibiki and Toki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHibiki and Toki: Suntory Blended Whisky\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHibiki, whose name means resonance or echo, was launched in 1989 and blends malt and grain whisky from all three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Hibiki Japanese Harmony followed in 2015, a blend without an age statement that brings together at least ten malt and grain whiskies from five different cask types. For something older, there are Hibiki 21 Year Old and Hibiki 30 Year Old. Suntory Toki came out in 2016 and was built for the highball, combining Hakushu malt aged in American white oak, Chita grain and Yamazaki malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRoku Gin: Suntory's Japanese Craft Gin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoku is Japanese for six, a nod to the six Japanese botanicals in the gin: sakura flower, sakura leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sansho pepper and yuzu peel. It makes a fine gin and tonic. Roku Sakura Bloom puts the cherry blossom further forward.

If you want a single malt, Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve or Yamazaki 12 Year Old is the classic first step, and Hakushu shows the fresher, greener side of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Yamazaki and Hakushu?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamazaki is fuller and fruitier, with dried fruit, spice and the incense notes of mizunara oak. Hakushu comes from a mountain forest and makes a lighter, greener whisky, often with a little smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you drink Japanese whisky?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeat or with a few drops of water to open up the aroma, or as a highball: whisky, plenty of ice and chilled soda water, which is how much of it is drunk in Japan.
