Founded a century ago, the iconic House of Suntory, renowned for its Japanese whisky craftsmanship, is marking its 100th year with grandeur. Through the years, it has gained global recognition for its commitment to quality, innovation, and the art of whisky-making. To honor this milestone, they are launching two limited edition releases: the Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara and the Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt. These whiskies epitomise the essence of Suntory's dedication to artistry and innovation.

Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara and the Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt

Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara

This limited edition release exudes a symphony of flavours, with notes of delicate fruitiness, spices, and the signature touch of Mizunara oak. Mizunara oak, native to Japan, its porous nature accelerates the maturation process, allowing the spirit to absorb unique flavours from the wood, bringing a distinct aromatic profile to whisky. The flavour imparted is described by Suntory Singapore's Brand Ambassador Andrew Pang as "sandalwood and coconut", contributing to the whisky's complexity and depth.

Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt

The Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt embodies a harmonious blend of peat smoke and the verdant freshness of the Japanese forest. It's a testament to Suntory's innovative approach, combining tradition with contemporary elements

As part of the celebrations, the House of Suntory is collaborating with distinguished chefs in Singapore to present exquisite experiential dinners. These chefs, renowned for their culinary mastery, will craft extraordinary dining experiences that pair with the Yamazaki and Hakushu.
