    Suntory

    Japan has in recent years emerged as one of the global heartlands of whisky making. No longer a mere imitator or a young upstart, this whisky-mad country ranks firmly alongside Scotland, Ireland and the United States as a classic whisky-producing nation, described by the Whisky Bible's Jim Murray as the nation where "the finest can now be found". The titan of the Japanese Whisky landcape is easily Suntory and their stable of distilleries represents not only the best of Japan but arguably of Scotland as well with their holdings now including Bowmore, Auchentoshan and Laphroaig as well. Closer to home the Hakushu distillery in the heart of the Nihon Arupusu (Japanese Alps) mountains has emerged as one of the most important centres of distilling in the country, winning award after award, as it establishes itself among the finest Single Malts on Earth. As Bill Murray once said, "for a relaxing time, make it Suntory time..."

    Colour: Fine, polished brass.

    Aroma: Delicate and grassy with a bright orchard fruit profile, reminiscent at first of Speyside but developing a unique persimmon complexity.

    Taste: Exceptional purity rivalled by few if any others. A fine salinity balanced by bright satsuma citrus notes makes for a sweet, ethereal palate.

    Finish: For such a light, balanced whisky the finish is exceptionally long and complex. The persimmon on the nose comes back for an encore, taking a final bow with notes of ginger, allspice and bay.

    Colour: Bronze.

    Aroma: The nose approaches with an intensity that the ultra-fine 12 year old foregoes and brings with it a herbal note with subtle tarragon and sage alongside dried, oloroso-soaked dates.

    Taste: A remarkable richness courtesy of the judiciously applied sherry barrels, this has a very complete palate with density, focus and a subtle cinnamon spiciness.

    Finish: Goes on for ages, this is a pensive whisky that rewards those who spend time with it, exploring every nook and cranny within its palatial expanse.

    Whisky Advocate (93)

    Deep layers of vanilla and mizunara oak with sugar sprinkled pastries, incense sticks, oiled wood, tatami, dried apricot, golden sultana, and faint smoky spiciness. Nectarous mouthfeel with honey, barley sugar, dried citrus, orange peel, and delicate spices, it continues to sweeten beautifully showing vanilla, sugared almonds, banana custard, with hints of ginger and gentle oak. Slightly gummy finish as the vanilla quenches little eruptions of wood spices.

    Whisky Advocate (93)

    The first thing you notice is the elegant fragrance of lychee, spring blossoms, lily, rosewater, and raspberry meringue. Deeper in, grassy notes with star fruit, kumquat, and kaffir lime leaves. The flavors offer perfection in their simplicity: silky honey, soft spices, crystalized pineapple, barley sugar, lemon, and orange. On the finish, the spices chatter on and on as the sweet citrus and honey fade in and out. One to cherish.
