Suntory Old Whisky is a mid-market blend which is ideal for casual occasions. Produced as early as 1940, it first came on the market in 1950 and gained much popularity in the post-war era. Suntory Old may be regarded as the company’s first attempt at marketing a luxury whisky. Suntory Old Whisky is darker in colour with a balanced nose. The palate is medium-bodied with slight spicy kick at the finish. The high 86 proof makes it an excellent Japanese sipping whisky. Suntory Old is an ever-popular affordable indulgence which is well loved by many and holds an important place in the history of Japanese whisky. The taste that has been trained and polished by the tongue of many people who love whisky is further mellowed by strengthening the sherry cask which was the former old key malt. While pursuing the tradition, the design pursued a sense of quality and luxury that is acceptable to modern times.
