Background & production

A blend of whiskies from Suntory's three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Its main components are Hakushu malt from American white oak casks and Chita grain whisky.

Two Yamazaki malts join them — American oak cask with peach and vanilla notes, and Spanish oak cask. Chita grain lays a base of vanilla and cocoa, while Hakushu brings citrus and mint.

"Toki" means "time" in Japanese. No age statement; bottled at 43%. It is mainly aimed at overseas markets.
