Suntory World Whisky AO blends various offerings from the major whiskey regions of the world. This includes whiskeys sourced from Yamazaki Distillery and the Hakushu Distillery in Japan, Cooley Distillery in Ireland, the Jim Beam Clermont Distillery in America, the Alberta Distillery in Canada and the Ardmore and Glen Garioch Distilleries in Scotland.
It's not the first bottle I would go to if I was seeking out a Suntory whisky, and probably not the second or third either. But I give credit to Suntory for a really interesting idea, even if the end result is just ‘ok’.
Suntory World Whisky Ao sounds like it's the “everything but the kitchen sink” of whiskey, however, the resulting sip will please those looking to step outside their normal whiskey comfort zone.
