Suntory Excellence Globe Decanter Daimaru Department Store Exclusive 76cl

Suntory Excellence Globe Decanter Daimaru Department Store Exclusive 76cl

I think this is the most impressive Suntory Decanter we have ever laid eyes on. It is just spectacular!

We cannot believe we have one of these in stock as we have seen plenty of photos but they never surface onto the market. This was bottled exclusively for a fancy department store in Tokyo called Daimaru so the few that were sold at the store were then simply kept by people in their homes and rarely ever left Japan at all. We have had to travel far to obtain this.

This eye-catching bottling of the now discontinued Suntory Excellence Japanese blended whisky comes housed in a rather smart globe-shaped decanter! It was originally released for the Japanese Daimaru Department Store Co., and would make a splendid addition to a special whisky collection.

Suntory?

Suntory are one of the founding fathers of Japanese whisky, established by Shinjirō Torii in 1899 as a wine store in Osaka. The venture was hugely successful, and the company was renamed Kotobukiya in 1921, which built its first distillery three years later, Yamazaki. The distillery produced both malt and grain whiskies which the company blended together, releasing its first Suntory White Label in 1929, the resulting popularity of which saw the firm renamed after it 1963. Expansion in the next decade saw the company move its grain production to a new Chita distillery in 1972, and open a second malt distillery, Hakushu, the following year. Suntory today has a large stake in both the bourbon and Scotch whisky industry, but remains at the forefront of its native whisky market too.
