WELCOME to SCYFOOD !!!

Much like Suntory Old, Suntory Royal is a delightful blended expression that has lasted the test of time. It was initially created in the 1960s, at a time when Yamazaki was the only active distillery in Suntory’s portfolio.

At that time, the Master Blenders making this expression distilled grain whisky, for use in the blend, at their lesser known Usuki Factory in Oita, however once Chita was built, the grain for Suntory Royal was produced there, and once Hakushu was built, some of their malt also made it into the expression.

This led to the recipe for this premium blended whisky to be changed several times, but as far as we are concerned, it was always for the better.

The first bottling of Suntory Royal was created to celebrate the drinks giant’s 60th anniversary, and it was billed as a more premium blend than the Suntory Old, and it commanded a slightly higher price point to boot. At the time, and indeed for many years to come, this blend would have been the drink of choice for members of Japan’s high society and elite.

Since then, Suntory have continued to produce and release Suntory Royal, however nowadays it is also enjoyed by millions of whisky lovers, like you and me, around the world.

Much like the Suntory Old, the new Suntory Royal Limited Edition that we are highlighting today was created to celebrate the tiger – the zodiac animal for 2022. However, unlike the Suntory Old, it’s not just the label that honours the big cat. The bottle for this one is in fact in the shape of an elegant, yet fierce tiger, making it stand apart in any drinks cabinet.

Of course, the whisky inside is of the same quality as we have come to expect from the whisky producer and the stunning bottle design serves to add to the experience.

Please note : this is an old bottle and the closure may have deteriorated, care should be taken when it is being opened. The item is sold as and we do not accept liability for the state of the closure.
