This pure malt came onto the Japanese market in September 2020. It is the answer to the Suntory AO, which has been available for a year. For this blended malt, in addition to selected malt whiskey from the Yoichi and Miyagiyko distilleries, whiskeys from the Scottish Ben Nevis distillery, which also belongs to the Asahi group like Nikka, were used. The result is a whiskey with a nice fruity and also slightly smoky note.
