With origins going back to the 1400s, whisky is one of the most loved spirits across the world. The word ‘whisky’ is derived from ‘usquebaugh’, a Gaelic word that translates to ‘water of life’. Celebrated on the third Saturday in the month of May, the World Whisky Day is a nod to the craft of making stunning spirits, right from single malts to blended whisky.

Suntory Whisky Toki

Toki signifies "time" in Japanese. The House of Suntory’s fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo brought the grain component of the blend from the Chita distillery, where the heavy-type grain whisky is distilled only twice on column stills, and is sweet and vanilla-rich in its unblended state. He sourced the malt component from the Hakushu distillery, which produces light, fruity malt similar to many Speyside distilleries. These seemingly dissimilar but deeply accordant whiskies, together with select Yamazaki malts for additional depth and complexity gave rise to the exquisite, silky taste, distinctive character and bold innovation of the blended Suntory Whisky Toki.
