Sold in 1988 and 1989, this is the 2nd edition of Suntory The Whisky, a Japanese blended whisky was composed entirely of domestically distilled spirits, Yamazaki malt with an average age of 30 years, the finest single malt from Hakushu, aged in different types of casks, subtly vatted with grain whisky from Chita distillery. The porcelain decanter has been produced in the Japanese town Arita and does come with a porcelain stopper for this final edition, whilst before (fragile) wooden stoppers where used.
Born from the idea of the writer Kaiko Ken during the era of Suntory's second president, Keizo Saji, this whisky was aimed to be the "greatest blended whisky in human history," a goal that was unmatched anywhere else in the world. Once a year, an ultra-aged Yamazaki malt was selected from the secret reserves, and the finest spirit chosen that year was used."
