Suntory AO World Blend Whisky 43% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

Suntory AO World Blend Whisky is an exceptional premium blend from Suntory that takes the art of whisky blending to a whole new level. With an alcohol content of 43% vol., a 0.7-litre bottle and presented in an elegant gift box (GB), this whisky brings together the diverse flavours of five world-famous whisky-producing nations. What makes Suntory AO so special is that this blend combines distillates from Scotland, Ireland, the USA, Canada and Japan. Each origin contributes its typical characteristics – from the peaty spice of Scottish malts, through the fruity lightness of Irish whiskies and the vanilla and caramel notes of American bourbons, to the smooth elegance of Canadian whiskies and the delicate balance of Japanese distillates. The result is a complex and harmonious blend that unites the diversity of the whisky world in a single bottle. The bottle itself features a striking blue design inspired by the ocean, symbolising the global origins of the whiskies used. The name ‘AO’ means ‘blue’ in Japanese and symbolises the connection between the five continents across the world’s oceans.
