Celebratory Canned Whiskey Cocktails

The Suntory Premium Highball Hakushu is a Japan-Only Drink

The Suntory Premium Highball Hakushu canned cocktail is a celebratory refreshment crafted with the brand's 100th anniversary in mind to offer consumers a decidedly flavorful option to enjoy. The cocktail is a Japan-only offering that's crafted with Hakushu single malt whiskey along with soda and a touch of lemon spirit. What's created is a decidedly flavorful cocktail perfect for enjoyment at anytime.

The Suntory Premium Highball Hakushu canned cocktail takes an unexpected approach by incorporating a high-end spirit into a premixed cocktail, but is reported to deliver exceptional flavor as a result. The canned cocktail is set to arrive in Japan in June and showcases the continued popularity of Japanese whiskey to provide discerning drinkers an alternative option to try out.
