Suntory Whisky – Toki 70 cl. 43%

Suntory Whisky Toki is a modern, elegant and highly versatile blended Japanese whisky from The House of Suntory. The name Toki means “time” in Japanese and reflects the meeting point between tradition and reinvention – two essential elements of Japanese whisky culture. It brings together Suntory’s long heritage of craftsmanship with a brighter, fresher and more contemporary whisky style, designed for both classic serves and modern cocktails.

Toki is a blend that brings together whisky from Suntory’s three iconic distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. The result is a balanced whisky with clean fruit, soft sweetness, gentle spice and a crisp, elegant finish. It is approachable and easy to enjoy, while still carrying the distinctive Suntory signature of harmony, balance and precision.

Aroma, taste and character

On the nose, Suntory Toki is bright, fresh and inviting, with notes of green apple, citrus, honey, vanilla and mild herbal freshness. A subtle touch of spice and a delicate floral nuance add elegance without making the whisky feel heavy.

On the palate, it is smooth, clean and harmonious. Flavours of honey, light fruit, malty sweetness, vanilla, pear, citrus and gentle spice come together in a soft and balanced style. The body is light to medium, making Toki especially suitable for those who prefer an elegant and refreshing whisky rather than a heavy, smoky or heavily oak-driven style.

The finish is clean, fresh and relatively dry, with hints of white pepper, oak, citrus and light sweetness. This crisp finish makes Toki particularly well suited for cocktails, especially the classic Japanese Highball, where its fresh and precise character truly shines.

Production and blend

Suntory Toki is a blended whisky that combines different whisky styles from Suntory’s distilleries to create balance and complexity. It is built from a combination of malt whisky and grain whisky, with each component contributing a specific role.

Hakushu brings freshness, herbal notes and a lightly green character. Yamazaki adds fruit, elegance and depth. Chitacontributes softness, roundness and a clean grain whisky profile that ties the blend together. The result is a whisky that is light, modern and balanced, yet clearly Japanese in expression.

The House of Suntory is known for its blending philosophy, where the goal is not simply power or intensity, but harmony. In Toki, this is expressed through its smooth structure, precise fruit character and clean finish.

Serving suggestions

Neat:
Serve in a whisky glass or tulip-shaped glass to appreciate its fresh aromas of citrus, honey, apple and vanilla.

On the rocks:
A large ice cube softens the whisky and highlights its clean, smooth and lightly sweet character.

Japanese Highball:
The most classic way to serve Toki. Fill a tall glass with plenty of clear ice, add Suntory Toki and top with well-chilled soda water. Stir gently and garnish with a thin citrus twist if desired. The result is a crisp, dry and refreshing drink with unmistakable Japanese elegance.
