Suntory Whisky 100th Anniversary Ceramic Decanter, 1999, 43%

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 specific release is a ceramic decanter of Suntory blended whisky, bottled in 1999 to mark Suntory's 100th Anniversary (1899-1999). The blue ceramic bottle is engraved with white barley motifs and often comes with a presentation case. The words on the bottle are a homage to Keizo Saji (1919-1990), Shinjiro Torii's second son, and the second generation of Suntory.
