Suntory Old Whisky 76cl / Year of the Dragon
A fantastic bottling of Suntory whisky, said to be a 'Taste of The Japanese Tradition'.
Specially labelled for the zodiac Year of the Dragon.
Suntory Old Whisky is a series of especially mature whisky from Suntory, first released in 1950. The company occasionally releases new bottles of this brand, and this particular bottle was released to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. The whisky has a scent of marmalade and varnish, with somewhat faint notes of earth and undergrowth. The taste reminds us of caramel, with grainy harshness, although it is somewhat suppressed.
