Suntory, one of Japan’s top whisky makers, is now offering a new way to enjoy its premium spirits with the debut of its new Suntory Premium Highball Yamazaki.
While most canned cocktails are made with lower-end, cost-effective spirits, the new Suntory Premium Highball Yamazaki is actually produced with some of the finest whiskey in Japan. The new canned highball cocktail is made with Suntory’s prized single malt Yamazaki whisky, which is produced at the Yamazaki distillery in Osaka. In fact, the Yamazaki distillery was among Japan’s first malt whisky distilleries.
With an alcohol content of 9% and a rich, strong flavor profile, the Suntory Premium Highball Yamazaki cocktail is certainly a more high-end option for those choosing a canned alcoholic beverage.
