Suntory Old Whisky

About
Nicknamed "Daruma" (after the rounded Daruma doll) for its distinctive bottle shape, Suntory Old has been a beloved Japanese whisky since 1950. Once the aspirational drink of salarymen in the Showa era, it remains a popular and affordable blended whisky. A taste of Japanese whisky history.
