To honour the craftsmanship and innovative spirit of the iconic whiskey brand’s 100th anniversary since its creation, the House of Suntory announces Limited Edition Yamazaki and Hakushu bottlings as part of a collection of exclusive bottlings to commemorate the milestone.


These are bottles that pay homage to the brand’s heritage and unwavering dedication to exceptional quality.


They include two limited edition Hakushu bottlings – a new, limited release Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt, along with the flagship Hakushu 12 Year Old clad in limited-edition celebratory packaging for the 100th anniversary.


Two limited-edition Yamazaki bottlings include the new, limited Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara, a single malt Japanese whisky aged exclusively in rare Mizunara oak casks, and the classic Yamazaki 12 Year Old and are also clad in limited-edition celebratory packaging for the 100th anniversary.


“Blending is at the heart of everything we do at the House of Suntory, and we hold each of our whiskies to the highest standards throughout the process,” shared Fifth Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo.


These bottles celebrating the Beam Suntory 100 Anniversary are available online at the Jebsen Wines and Spirits eshop.
