Description

A discontinued Suntory pure malt whisky from 1981, labeled Kioke Shikomi (木桶仕込), meaning fermented in wooden vats.

Japanese collectors describe it as a vatting of Suntory malts, reportedly led by Hakushu with Yamazaki, made with traditional wooden-vat fermentation and direct-fire distillation (直火蒸溜) and bottled at 43% ABV.

This bottling is no longer produced. A piece of Suntory's pre-boom history for Japanese whisky collectors.
