A refined Suntory expression from the Excellence line, delivered in a striking Cooper Decanter that honors traditional pot-still craftsmanship. The decanter’s copper-toned stopper and hand-etched glass evoke classic distillation artistry, while the whisky inside offers balance and poise. Expect a approachable yet sophisticated profile with orchard fruit, vanilla, and a touch of oak for depth.
Tasting Notes
Nose: ripe pear and green apple, vanilla custard, honey, light citrus, cedar, and subtle spice; Mizunara-like sandalwood impression in the background.
Palate: creamy texture with orchard fruit, polished vanilla, toffee, and mid-weight oak; gentle spice (cinnamon, clove), and a faint herb-zest lift.
Finish: medium-long with warm oak, spice, and dried-fruit sweetness; a delicate, lingering sandalwood note. Overall: elegant and balanced, with a crisp pot-still edge that stays refined.
