Suntory Whisky Torys Classic - Review

Time for another drink!

Product of Suntory, the Torys Classic has 37% ABV, and it is classified in the EU as a (Japanese) Spirit, rather than a whisky.

Time to try it!

Nose: Barely anything, a very vague idea of caramel

Palate: You can taste a faint idea of barley through the alcohol, but not much.

Finish: Honestly confusing, not much happening there. I would lie if I said otherwise

Pros and Cons

In a highball, sure, why not, but make sure to add all the lemon you can find

I wouldn't recommend this neat. At all.

Adding a very small amount of water might make things slightly more palatable, but while you're at it, add some ice cubes, a slice of lemon and change the water to soda water, you're honestly better off having a highball, which I have to admit, is not half bad.

I found this 180ml bottle in a shop in Tokyo, during my most recent trip to Japan, and unfortunately, I cannot advise where you could potentially purchase this in the UK, in case you were curious about it.

In Conclusion

This is certainly not a sipping whisky, or anything remotely close.

If highball cocktails are your thing, or you're planning on making very fruity cocktails for which you need a spirit which won't impact the flavour too much, then, by all means, give this one a go.

For everything else, Suntory has such an amazing selection of whiskies, you'll be spoilt for choice.

As always, please drink responsibly.
