Suntory Gold Blended Whisky, Sherry Cask, 1970, 42%

A historic Japanese whisky company, originally founded as Torii Shoten in 1899. It was renamed Kotobukiya in 1921, and again to Suntory after its flagship whisky brand in 1963. It has since become one of the world's largest spirits multinationals and was renamed Suntory Holdings Ltd in 2009. This Suntory Gold Blended Whisky is a special blend of selected malt whiskies pot-distilled and matured in the vale of Yamazaki, near Kyoto, Japan. It is an old Suntory bottling, likely launched over 40 years ago, and is believed to contain whiskies solely from the Yamazaki distillery, as Hakushu only launched its first whisky in 1976.
