Taste the world’s five most celebrated whisky regions
Ireland. Scotland. America. Canada. Japan. The world’s most prestigious whisky regions, each with its unique history and climate, reveal their personality traits through our remarkable Ao world blended whisky. A blend that after nearly a century of challenges and triumphs, you can taste today.
Unlike other blends that find harmony by unifying individual whisky personalities, Suntory World Whisky Ao achieves harmony at its base while layering and highlighting a multitude of characteristics. The result offers aromas and flavors that change and evolve, depending on when and how you drink it. However you choose to enjoy Ao Whisky, we invite you to experience it today.
The whiskies used in the AO are:
Yamazaki Distillery: Japan’s first and oldest whisky distillery, featuring a delicate yet profound profile nurtured through Yamazaki’s misty climate.
Hakushu Distillery: Japan’s unique mountain forest distillery, featuring a refreshingly herbal flavor profile from the water of its natural surroundings
Cooley Distillery: A newer distillery founded in 1989, Cooley uses similar production methods to Scotch such as double distillation.
Jim Beam Distillery: Founded in 1795 and run by the Beam family for generations, this distillery produces the World’s #1 Bourbon, using water naturally filtered through a limestone shelf and the same yeast since the Prohibition era.
Alberta Distillery: Founded in 1946, Alberta’s high-quality, locally-grown rye and refreshing glacial water offer a smooth flavor.
Ardmore Distillery: Founded in 1898, Ardmore produces smoky Highland whisky that is crisp and different from other Islay varieties.
Glen Garioch Distillery: Among the Highlands’ oldest distilleries, Glen Garioch features Highland malt with sharp honey and heathery spicy notes.
