Suntory Whisky Toki®
Toki signifies "time" in Japanese. The House of Suntory’s fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo brought the grain component of the blend from the Chita distillery, where the heavy-type grain whisky is distilled only twice on column stills, and is sweet and vanilla-rich in its unblended state. He sourced the malt component from the Hakushu distillery, which produces light, fruity malt like many Speyside distilleries. These seemingly dissimilar but deeply accordant whiskies, together with select Yamazaki malts for additional depth and complexity gave rise to the exquisite, silky taste, distinctive character and bold innovation of the blended Suntory Whisky Toki.
Toki Suntory Whisky has been honored with a prestigious Gold in the Japanese Whisky category at the International Spirits Challenge 2024, further solidifying its legacy with over 20 international awards.
Availability and Cost:
Available in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Assam, West Bengal, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Goa, Chandigarh, Punjab and UP and ranges from INR 3200/- to INR 6845/-.

Hibiki Japanese Harmony
Hibiki Japanese Harmony stands as a paragon of The Art of Japanese craftsmanship, embodying Suntory’s deep legacy in whisky making. First launched in 1989 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Suntory Corporation, Hibiki has been a flagship brand, showcasing the artistry of blending that defines Japanese whisky. Paying homage to the original Hibiki, which was introduced as a “non-age statement” whisky, Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a refined blend, meticulously crafted by Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo. His mission was to design the quintessential Hibiki blend by capturing the essence of the brand's harmony and balance. Through careful refinement, the whisky achieves a transparency of taste, revealing all its complexities—more than ten malts and three grain whiskies, some up to 20 years old, come together to create a symphony of flavors and aromas.

Its harmonious and layered flavors have earned it recognition, making it an award-winning whisky within the prestigious House of Suntory.

Haku® Vodka
Haku® Vodka, crafted by master distiller Kazuyuki Torii, goes beyond the ordinary. It embodies the vision of founder Shinjiro Torii, combining the riches of Japanese nature with exquisite craftsmanship. As a remarkable addition to Suntory's esteemed portfolio, Haku® pays tribute to the devotion and ingenuity of Japanese craftsmanship. The name itself holds significance as the kanji (Japanese character) for Haku means "white." However, the beauty of the Japanese language lies in its subtlety, allowing kanji to have multiple readings. When read as "shiro," it simply means white but when read as "haku," it is intentionally rooted and elevated. "Haku" vodka finds its roots in "Hakumai," the renowned Japanese white rice, capturing its essence flawlessly. This exceptional vodka pays tribute to its origin and carries the essence of "Junpaku," meaning "untainted" and "brilliant." It is a testament to the wonder that can be crafted from the simplest of ingredients, embodying the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
Availability and Cost:
This unique offering ranges from INR 3,950/- to INR 6,140/- and will be available across markets such as Maharashtra, Goa, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Telangana.

The Ardmore Legacy
The Ardmore distillery sits at the highest point of the Northern railway line, 600 feet above sea level. Close to the small village of Kennethmont, the proximity to the railway line allowed founder Adam Teacher to transport materials from Glasgow to this remote corner of Aberdeenshire, helping the distillery flourish. Almost unchanged from the moment he made his dream a reality, the water is still drawn from the naturally rising springs that sit on the 1,500 foot tall Knockandy Hill. The Ardmore celebrates the distillery’s unique location on the fringes of the Highlands, offering a lightly peated liquid that is sweet and uplifting. It encapsulates the essence of the natural environment where the whisky is crafted with pristine local ingredients – water, barley and peat. On the nose, this light honey-colored whisky offers a heather honey with hints of cinnamon and toffee bonbon along with very subtle hints of peatsmoke. On the palate, it gives a creamy vanilla spice that gives way to more overt smoky charcoal notes, especially with the addition of water. Smoke doesn’t dominate and is balanced by the sweet honey and spice flavours. The finish is characterized by a full-bodied, silky mouth feel with a dry, tangy and lingering aftertaste, coupled with delicious spice notes.
