Suntory Old Whisky 38cl & Nikka Gold Mini 5cl

Suntory Old Whisky

One of the Japanese whisky giants. Kotobukiya, or as we know them today, Suntory. The company was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899, first as an importer of western liquor. As he progressed within the business he decided to build Japan's first distillery. This is where Masataka Taketsuru comes into the picture. He was hired as a distillery executive at Yamazaki.

This bottling was for the Eighth meeting for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Kyoto Japan from the 2nd-13th March 1992. These bottles were only given to delegates of the meeting.
