Suntory Old, a no-age-statement blended Japanese whisky from Suntory. Bottled at 43% ABV, it blends malt and grain whiskies believed to include components from Yamazaki Distillery and Hakushu Distillery. The brand markets it as part of a Suntory whisky series first released in 1950. The standard bottle size measures 750 ml.
Not as sweet as you may have guessed from the nose. It’s a bit more flat and balanced, nearly to the point of boredom. You’ll need to dig pretty deep to find some oak and green apple.
It’s aggressive in the mouth; powerful alcohol and still with that sugar sweetness to it. It’s very smooth, however, with just a hint of grain lurking in the background. Water leaves the character alone, but turns the volume down leaving a smooth, gently sweet and very drinkable whisky.
