Suntory World Whisky Ao (70cl, 43%)

Suntory World Whisky Ao is a blend created by Shinji Fukuyo, House of Suntory's fifth-generation chief blender. It combines whiskies from five major whisky-producing countries, each with its own history, climate, raw materials and craft. The blend is intended to embody harmony while revealing and layering each country's whisky. It is bottled at 43% ABV in a 700ml bottle. The colour is amber. The nose has profound vanilla and pineapple-like fruitiness, creamy sweetness and depth, with a lingering woody aroma. The palate is smooth and sweet, gradually followed by smokiness and cinnamon-like spiciness. The finish is multi-layered, sweet and smoky, spicy and woody.
