Suntory 1981 Kioke Shikomi - 750ml

Suntory Kioke Shiomi Pure Malt is a rare and highly sought-after Japanese whisky that first appeared in 1991. It was distilled in 1981 and aged in traditional kioke (Japanese wooden barrels) for 10 years before being bottled at 43% ABV. Kioke barrels are larger and shallower than traditional oak barrels, allowing for a more even and gentle maturation process.

This rare, pure malt whisky from Suntory was bottled in Yamanishi and is believed to be a blend of Hakushu and Yamazaki single malts, with 90% Hakushu whisky in the barrels. The red Japanese characters in the center of the bottle label translate as "Direct Fired," referring to the distillery's distillation technique.
