History,
This one was born in 1969 to celebrate the company’s 70th anniversary, being blended by second-generation company president Keizo Saji. These days, the company says the key malt of Suntory Special Reserve is Hakushu aged in white oak casks. There’s Yamazaki in there too, of course.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Dried fruits, specifically prunes, dates, apricot, and berries. Lots more sherry going on here than with Royal. There’s a hint of orange as well. Thicc and aromatic, it’s actually quite nice. There’s Yamazaki here too.
Palate: Orange sticks around and is joined by white pepper and some bitter chocolate. Sugary and oaky too, with excellent overall balance. Light and easy sipping.
Finish: Medium-length, lasting fruits, and a bit of oak bitterness.
