Background & production
A blend created by Suntory's founder and first master blender, Shinjiro Torii, launched in 1960 to mark the company's 60th anniversary.
The bottle is shaped after the kanji 酉, which depicts a sake vessel, and the cap is modelled on the torii gate of Shiio Shrine — a play on the founder's name, Torii.
Made from malt and grain whiskies and bottled at 43%.
