Suntory Spirits which is renowned as the pioneer of Japanese Whisky has been recognised at the International Spirits Challenge 2024 Awards recently held in London. These outstanding recognitions are a testament for the company’s excellent blending skills and the pursuit of perfection in quality for its whisky making, further cementing the reputation of Japanese Whisky.
Toki Suntory Whisky, from the iconic portfolio of The House of Suntory has been awarded Gold in the Tasting Awards - Japanese Whisky category.

Along with Toki, Suntory Single Malt Whisky Yamazaki 12 Years Old was awarded the Supreme Champion Spirit. This award is given to the highest scoring Trophy winner of the competition, the top award in the Japanese Whisky category, and was also selected as the most outstanding product out of thousands of entries among all categories.

The company received numerous accolades at this year’s competition - Double Golds for Suntory Whisky Hibiki 30 Years Old and Hibiki 21 Years Old and 23 Golds including other Suntory Whiskies.
