The Suntory Royal 15 is one of the premium Japanese Whiskies released in the 1990s. Usually appearing with a blue label, the gold label was introduced especially for gift giving. This is an exceptional Malt and Grain Blend, comparable in quality to the Hibiki 17 but with slightly differing characteristics. The whisky was matured in Sherry Casks.

Personal Note by Josh: This is my very first taste of Japanese Whisky that was bottled in the 1990s. I really didn't know what to expect for an old bottling but thankfully I was pleasantly surprised. The whisky not only was in great shape, it smelled and tasted wonderful. Love the presentation of the old school bottle and stopper. Tasting notes: Smooth, Rich, Slight citrus acidity, Grain. Medium Bodied.
