The story of Toki Suntory Whisky

Toki is a blended Japanese whisky from Suntory, the company Shinjiro Torii founded in Osaka in 1899. Torii built the Yamazaki distillery in 1923, and Toki draws on whisky from three Suntory distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. It reached North America in 2016, and the name is Japanese for time.

The blend was put together by Suntory's chief blender, Shinji Fukuyo. Its two main pillars are Hakushu malt matured in American white oak, which brings the green apple, and Chita grain whisky, which adds sweetness and vanilla. Two Yamazaki malts, one from American white oak and one from Spanish oak, add depth.

In the glass it is clear gold. The nose shows basil, green apple and honey, the palate grapefruit, green grapes, peppermint and thyme, and the finish is lightly sweet and spicy with vanilla oak, white pepper and ginger. It is bottled at 43 per cent.

Suntory's own recommended serve is the highball: a tall glass of ice, one measure of whisky stirred to chill, three measures of chilled soda poured down the side, and a lemon twist. It also works neat, over ice, or in an Old Fashioned.
