Beam Suntory Announces The First-ever World Blended Whisky 'Ao'
Blended using whisky from five of the most renowned distilleries in Japan , Scotland , Ireland , Canada and the US, 'Ao', meaning blue, is named after the oceans that connect the distilleries together. With notes of vanilla, tropical fruit and cinnamon, it is the distinctive climate, fermentation and distillation processes in each whisky-making region that give the whisky its unique taste.
Fifth generation Suntory chief blender, Shinji Fukuyo, selected each liquid based-on Suntory's globally-recognised craftsmanship – a relentless pursuit of perfection, attention to detail and quality. Building on Suntory's history of craftsmanship, this innovative, premium blended whisky embodies the spirit of Suntory and is a tribute to the liquid's long history.
Suntory World Whisky 'Ao' is a unique addition to Suntory's growing portfolio.
