Suntory Royal 12 Year Old Zodiac Decanter Year Of The Snake Ship Japanese Blended Whisky (2001) 60cl

Suntory / Jim Beam are the masters of decanters in the whisky industry. Suntory has created many of them that are sold exclusively in other places than the UK which is why they are a little more challenging to find.

This ceramic decanter was released in 2001 to celebrate the Year of the Snake. Specifically the metal snake.

Suntory owns Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita so their blends contain principally Yamazaki and Chita grain whisky.

About Suntory

The House of Suntory is a House of Japanese artisans, crafting world-class spirits, inspired by Japanese nature and mastered with Japanese craft. In addition to our luxury brands Yamazaki, Hakushu, Chita and Hibiki, we also have Suntory Whisky Toki, Roku Gin and Haku Vodka as premium offerings. We do more than create high-quality spirits; we embody the Japanese philosophy and traditions that are a full expression of everything we make.

At House of Suntory, we’ve been pioneering fine Japanese whisky since 1923, and invite you to celebrate this exciting milestone with us. The House of Suntory was built on a singular dream – founder Shinjiro Torii wanted to enrich the lives of the Japanese people, and so he grew into an entrepreneur, maker and doer. Inspired by the riches of Japan’s nature, he chose the Yamazaki area for its reputed soft water, unique climate and beautiful seasons—all of which would contribute to the distinctive Japanese character of Suntory whiskies.

Shinjiro achieved his dream to “create an original Japanese Whisky blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and ‘Monozukuri’ craftsmanship.” Today, that vision continues, and The House of Suntory now represents a House of Japanese Culture—a rich experience and homage to Japan in every bottle, ready to be discovered by the world as we enter our second millennium.
