The House of Suntory’s fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo brought the grain component of the blend from the Chita distillery, where the heavy-type grain whisky is distilled only twice on column stills, and is sweet and vanilla-rich in its unblended state. He sourced the malt component from the Hakushu distillery, which produces light, fruity malt similar to many Speyside distilleries. These seemingly dissimilar but deeply accordant whiskies, together with select Yamazaki malts for additional depth and complexity gave rise to the exquisite, silky taste, distinctive character and bold innovation of the blended Suntory Whisky Toki.Toki Suntory Whisky has been honored with a prestigious Gold in the Japanese Whisky category at the International Spirits Challenge 2024, further solidifying its legacy with over 20 international awards.

Garnish: Garnish with a lemon peelGlassware: Highball Glass About Haku Vodka Haku® Vodka, crafted by master distiller Kazuyuki Torii, goes beyond the ordinary. It embodies the vision of founder Shinjiro Torii, combining the riches of Japanese nature with exquisite craftsmanship. As a remarkable addition to Suntory’s esteemed portfolio, Haku® pays tribute to the devotion and ingenuity of Japanese craftsmanship. The name itself holds significance as the kanji (Japanese character) for Haku means “white.” However, the beauty of the Japanese language lies in its subtlety, allowing kanji to have multiple readings. When read as “shiro,” it simply means white but when read as “haku,” it is intentionally rooted and elevated. “Haku” vodka finds its roots in “Hakumai,” the renowned Japanese white rice, capturing its essence flawlessly. This exceptional vodka pays tribute to its origin and carries the essence of “Junpaku,” meaning “untainted” and “brilliant.” It is a testament to the wonder that can be crafted from the simplest of ingredients, embodying the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.

Glassware: Highball GlassGarnish: Lemon wedge About Jim BeamThe story of the Beam family is one of seven generations. Since the first bottle of Jim Beam, it is still made with the same values and family recipe and aged for at least four years, twice as long as the law requires in new, level-4 char American White Oak barrels that lend it a smooth, extra mellow flavor. During the late 18th century, members of the Böhm family, who eventually changed the spelling of their surname to “Beam”, emigrated from Germany and settled in Kentucky. They had the knowledge of distilling spirits out of grains, and they realized that the weather in Kentucky was ideal for growing corn, hence the first bottle of Jim Beam with the family recipe was bottled in 1795. While the brand owners have changed over the years, the liquid and the distillery itself have been managed by the same family. Link to Images: Here |
