Background & production

Suntory launched this "world whisky" in April 2019. It uses only whiskies made and quality-controlled at Suntory Group's own distilleries in the five great whisky regions — Ireland, Scotland, the USA, Canada and Japan — blended by Suntory's blenders to bring out each one's character.

In a December 2025 renewal, a Yamazaki malt aged over 30 years in Spanish oak and an 8-year-old bourbon were added to the blend.

It is bottled at 43% ABV.
