WELCOME to SCYFOOD !!!

Suntory Old was first produced in Japan in the 1940s, at a time when blended whisky was all the rage and the single malt category was yet to develop into what it is today. Fine blends were seen as the pinnacle of the whisky world at this time, in both Japan and Scotland, with the best Master Blenders being akin to today’s Michelin Star Chefs, pulling the very best ingredients and putting them together in a way that amazed those lucky enough to get a taste.

From the moment Suntory Old was created, until around the 1980s when the single malt category began to grow, it was the premier whisky inside of Japan and it steadily grew in popularity throughout the years. It was cherished for it’s smooth, soft and moreish drinking experience that delivered a range of unique flavours and spices on the nose and palate.

Once the single malt category came to prominence, Suntory Old became less and less desirable, as people clambered to get their hands on unique whisky from one of the exciting distilleries popping up around Japan.

However, not everyone stopped drinking Suntory Old. By this point it had built up a strong following and while some were keen to explore the expanding whisky landscape inside of Japan, many remained loyal to this beautiful, elegant blended expression, thus helping it to survive.

Fortunately, today we have a much deeper understanding of whisky and as such, blends and single malts are both given the appreciation they deserve in equal measure. It is true that many people believe that single malts are the only way forward, but for every person that believes that, there is a lover of expertly blended whiskies.

This brand new Suntory Old Limited Edition 2022 brings everything that made the blend popular all those years ago and builds on it with uniqueness and collectibility.

The whisky inside is as smooth as it has ever been, delivering a fabulous, light drinking experience that keeps you coming back for more. Poached pears, summer fruits and dried berries mingle perfectly with nutmeg and cinnamon spice, all the while soft, buttery vanilla builds in the background. It’s a fantastic flavour profile and one that has been worked on and mastered over half a century.

This Limited Edition bottling is being released to celebrate the Zodiac animal for 2022 – The majestic Tiger and it comes with an elegantly designed label depicting the marvelous creature in all its glory.
