About this bottle
Suntory 12 Year Old Pure Malt "Watercolour/Graffiti" Label Miniature. Unlike the standard Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt, this is an older vintage bottle from the era when it was labeled as a Pure Malt. It features a distinctive, colourful watercolour painting of the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery nestled in the hills. This unique graffiti/illustration variant was originally a Japanese market exclusive.

About the distillery
Suntory Holdings Limited commonly referred to as simply Suntory is a Japanese multinational brewing and distilling company group. Established in 1899, it is one of the oldest companies in the distribution of alcoholic beverages in Japan, and makes Japanese whisky. Suntory was started by Shinjirō Torii, who first opened his store Torii Shōten in Osaka on February 1, 1899, to sell imported wines. The store became the Kotobukiya company in 1921 to further expand its business and in 1923, Torii built Japan's first malt whisky distillery Yamazaki Distillery. Production began in December 1924 and five years later Suntory Whisky Shirofuda (White Label), the first single malt whisky made in Japan, was sold.
