Suntory Whisky Toki Black has been debuted by the brand as a limited-edition expression that prioritizes an old-meets-new nature for spirit enthusiasts alike to try out this season.
The spirit is characterized by its mildly smoky flavor profile that's achieved with Hakushu grain alongside malt that has been strongly peated to impart an earthy, unctuous nature. The spirit is positioned as being perfect for special occasions as well as everyday indulgence, and opens with aromas of baked apple, oregano and honeysuckle before transitioning into butterscotch, clove, cinnamon and toasted rosemary. Finishing notes of white pepper, ginger and a touch of smokiness make it great for enjoying neat or in a cocktail like the Toki Ginger Sour.
Suntory Whisky Toki Black has a 43% ABV and is arriving now in the UK for £39.50.
