Product details
The Suntory Whisky Decanter is a rare and collectible expression from Japan’s most iconic whisky house, Suntory, founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii. Known for pioneering Japanese whisky with the establishment of the Yamazaki Distillery in 1923, Suntory has long blended traditional Scottish techniques with Japanese artistry. This decanter, released in limited quantities, exemplifies the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and design. Some editions, such as the 1999 100th Anniversary Decanter, feature exquisite ceramic vessels adorned with barley motifs and presented in luxurious cases, celebrating a century of innovation and refinement. Other decanters, like the Pure Malt 12 Years Old Ceramic Decanter, showcase Suntory’s commitment to both aesthetic elegance and exceptional whisky-making.
Inside these beautifully crafted decanters lies a whisky that reflects Suntory’s signature blending philosophy. The 12-year-old pure malt expression offers a rich amber hue and a complex yet approachable aroma. On the palate, it delivers a silky smooth taste with subtle notes of oak and fruit, culminating in a clean, crisp finish. This whisky pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods, particularly Japanese cuisine. For instance, it complements dishes with slight sweetness, such as soy sauce-based preparations, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether enjoyed neat to appreciate its depth or as the foundation for classic whisky cocktails, the Suntory Whisky Decanter offers a luxurious and harmonious drinking experience.
