The history of Suntory

If you list the largest spirits companies in the world, you can't ignore the Japanese company Suntory. Suntory's portfolio includes renowned brands such as the Scottish single malt distillery Bowmore and it can look back on a long history, which we would like to briefly tell you about.

The foundation stone for today's Suntory Group was laid by Shinjirō Torii, who was only 20 years old at the time and opened a shop under the name Torii Shoten in 1899. Shinjirō Torii initially concentrated on importing and selling Spanish wines and brought a type of port wine onto the market under the name "Akadama". A few years later, he had an idea in his head that never left him: producing his own whisky!

For this reason, in 1923 he hired the young and very talented chemist Masataka Taketsure, who had studied in Scotland and had already gained experience in distilleries. Together they opened Japan's first distillery in the Yamazaki Valley and almost simultaneously introduced the brand name "Suntory", which refers to the Japanese national symbol of the rising sun.

The Kakubin Blend was finally introduced in 1937 and has long been considered the best known and best-selling Japanese blended whisky on the market.

The taste of the Suntory Kakubin Yellow Label Whisky

There are various blends under the name Suntory Kakubin, but the Yellow Label Whisky is the most important. It was matured in former bourbon whiskey barrels and appears in the glass in a strong golden color.

On the nose it shows fine, sweet aromas of dried fruit as well as nuances of oak, malt and vanilla. On the palate, the Suntory Kakubin Yellow Label whisky is very complex with notes of freshly baked bread, tobacco and again vanilla. The aftertaste is medium-length and pleasantly smooth. Ideal for cocktails and long drinks!

Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky, 0,7L 40%

Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky 0.7L 40% The history of Suntory The Japanese company Suntory is one of the five largest spirits companies in the world and can look back on an impressive history. Suntory was founded in 1899 by Shinjirō Torii, who was just 20 years old at the time and opened a shop under the name Torii Shoten. While Shinjirō Torii initially concentrated on importing and selling Spanish wines, a few years later he decided to create his own single malt whisky. In 1923 he hired the young and talented chemist Masataka Taketsuru, who had studied in Scotland, and together with him opened the country's first distillery in the Yamazaki Valley. At about the same time, the name "Suntory" was first mentioned as a brand name, which refers to the Japanese national symbol of the rising sun. In 1937, the Kakubin Blend was finally launched for the first time, and has long been the No. 1 blended whisky in Japan. The road to market leadership was rocky, however, and only succeeded in the 1950s/60s when Suntory attracted attention with innovative marketing campaigns. The taste of the Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky Kakubin - which translates as "square bottle" - is bottled in various qualities, with the "White Label" offered here being considered somewhat drier and lighter than the better-known "Yellow Label" variant. The Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky is matured in ex-bourbon whiskey casks. On the nose, the Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky shows fine notes of caramel, freshly baked bread and caramel. Malty aromas and nuances of cinnamon and the spice of oak are revealed on the palate. The finish is medium-long and delicately sweet and slightly fruity. As a fine example of a light Japanese blend, the Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky is ideal for drinking neat or as an ingredient in cocktails, long drinks and highballs.

Suntory Whisky The Chita 0,7L 43%

Suntory Whisky The Chita 0.7L 43% The little exotic Almost everyone knows that a good whisky comes from Scotland or Ireland. However, it is often single malt whisky and not the rarer single grain. The exotic Suntory The Chita is one of the few Japanese single grain whiskies that can easily keep up with the main whiskey producers. Suntory has established itself as an independent bottler for over 100 years and enjoys a professional and high-quality reputation. Fascinating combination The unmalted grain used for the single grain whisky comes from the region around Chita. The distillery of the same name, which has only existed since the 1970s, is located in the port of Nagoya. Chita is a pure grain distillery. Grains are produced here and stored separately for some time in white oak barrels, Spanish oak barrels and old port wine barrels, thus producing the blended Suntory The Chita. This spirit is fascinating on the one hand because of the combination of different types of maturation and on the other hand because of its rare occurrence on the German spirits market. Originally the whisky was only intended for the local and not the European market. If you take a closer look In terms of aroma, the Suntory The Chita is predominantly fruity. It is very charming and has an inviting freshness. Melons and citrus fruits marry with a sweet undertone of fine honey. Cornflakes and cereals are the typical flavor carriers for a single grain whisky and set the tone for an unmistakable taste. In the glass the whisky is golden brown and slightly oily. In the mouth the Suntory whisky unfolds a wide range of aromas such as vanilla, honey and muffins. A floral hint passes through the taste buds, accompanied by a nuance of fresh fruit. The finish reveals the strong side of the complex distillate. It is also very long-lasting and intense. Suntory The Chita is best enjoyed neat or on ice. In a cocktail, this rarity would almost be wasted.

Suntory Blended Japanese Whisky Toki 0,7L 43%

Suntory Blended Japanese Whisky Toki 0.7L 43% The House of Suntory In 1923, the founding house of Japanese whisky was founded by Shinjiro Torii. He wanted to produce a whisky that combined the tradition of Japanese craftsmanship and the essence of Japanese nature. Initially, he was inspired by the good Scottish whisky that was known worldwide until then. However, he quickly found a Japanese approach that was completely different in climate and region from those in Scotland. Torii chose the Yamazaki region, on the outskirts of Kyoto, which is known for being the source of some of the purest water, making it the perfect basis for an exceptionally good whisky. Since its founding, Suntory has become the most awarded Japanese whisky company thanks to its artisanal production in its distilleries and its select blenders. Suntory is primarily known for its outstanding single malts, but every now and then it also produces a very good blend. 'Toki' is one of these blends and consists of specially selected whiskies from the world-famous Hakushu, Yamazaki and Chita distilleries, all of which come from Suntory. Hakushu chose Hakushu American White Oak Cask Malt Whisky, along with Chita Heavy-Type Grain Whiskey. Both have special aromas, the Hakushu, for example, has fresh, green apple tones, while the Chita whisky has the more typical notes of vanilla and oak. Grain whiskies also play a role. The golden tone of the whisky immediately catches the eye. You immediately realize that this bottle contains a very special curd. The main notes on the nose are basil, which is quite unusual for a whisky, but harmonizes perfectly with those of green apple and honey. Sweet, malty grain notes are also added. The palate is beautifully balanced and the sweetness of the nose remains here, along with juicy citrus notes, and the smoky oak is also a bit more dominant here. Suntory Whisky Toki is a rather light and gentle whisky that is definitely worth trying.
