The company was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899, first as an importer of western liquor. As he progressed within the business he decided to build Japan's first distillery producing a range of malt and grain whiskies. This expression has been bottled at a strength of 43% abv. and celebrates the Chinese Year of The Ox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky has a scent of marmalade and varnish, with somewhat faint earth and undergrowth notes. The taste reminds us of caramel, with grainy harshness and plastics peeking through; although it is somewhat suppressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt tastes kind of like Yamazaki 12 with an old musky undertone to it.

The House of Suntory was built on a singular dream – founder Shinjiro Torii wanted to enrich the lives of the Japanese people, and so he grew into an entrepreneur, maker and doer. Inspired by the riches of Japan’s nature, he chose the Yamazaki area for its reputed soft water, unique climate and beautiful seasons—all of which would contribute to the distinctive Japanese character of Suntory whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShinjiro achieved his dream to “create an original Japanese Whisky blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and ‘Monozukuri’ craftsmanship.” Today, that vision continues, and The House of Suntory now represents a House of Japanese Culture—a rich experience and homage to Japan in every bottle, ready to be discovered by the world as we enter our second millennium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e43% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suntory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54524519186757,"sku":"00213","price":119.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4372622135_ff1b8363-216e-4d04-8b3e-d4587c5c8c62.jpg?v=1746553024","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/suntory-old-whisky-year-of-the-ox-2021-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
