Suntory looks to celebrate their 100th Anniversary in style with a whole slew of new releases, take a look at what has been released so far!
Thus far it appears that the expressions are a reprisal of existing or recently released standard and limited editions, with bottling strengths in-line with the equivalent existing releases. The main difference here seems to be the labels.
In quick brief:
- Yamazaki 12 Years Old - 100th Anniversary Edition (43% ABV)
- Yamazaki Mizunara Japanese Oak Cask 18 Years Old - 100th Anniversary Edition (48% ABV)
- Hakushu 12 Years Old - 100th Anniversary Edition (43% ABV)
- Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Years Old - 100th Anniversary Edition (48% ABV)
- Hibiki Japanese Harmony - 100th Anniversary Edition (43% ABV)
- Hibiki 21 Year Old - 100th Anniversary Edition (43% ABV)
So far the Japanese giant has only released the bottle looks for the Yamazaki and Hakushu NAS and 12 Year Olds.
We still await the Yamazaki Mizunara 18 Year Old, Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Year Old, and both Hibiki's - Harmony and 21 Year Old.
Kanpai!
