Kakubin, which means “square” in Japanese, is the country's first genuine whisky. Suntory Whisky
Kakubin, the first signature whisky accepted and embraced by the Japanese public for its uniquely
Japanese flavour notes, is a highly versatile whisky best enjoyed as a sessionable highball. It is blended
to the highest Japanese quality according to the vision of Japan's whisky pioneer Shinjiro Torii in 1937.
Suntory Whisky Kakubin’s exquisite flavour is heightened by the use of Bourbon casks from Yamazaki
and Hakushu. The pinnacle of flavour for Japan’s bestselling whisky is a thrilling blend of biscuit, vanilla, and spice, culminating with a crisp, faint trace of smoke. Nuances of lemon, green apple, butter biscuit,
and hazelnut can be detected in the nose while popcorn, apple, dried coconut and the flavour of almonds engulf the taste buds.
