Although inspired by traditional Scottish distilleries, Founder, Shinjiro Torii envisioned a new Japanese approach to whiskey by choosing a location offered a vastly different climate than Scotland. Situated near three rivers, the Katsura, Uji and Kizu, Suntory Distillery is Japan's first whisky distillery.
