suntory hokuto 12 jahre yearsSuntory launched this bottling of special Suntory pure malt whiskies in early 2004 and withdrew it from the market in 2010. Only select malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, aged at least 12 years, were blended to create a very balanced and mild pure malt whisky. Since this bottling has been off the market for over seven years, it is now very difficult to obtain.
