Three New Single Malt Whiskies from Scotland Launched in Japan:
The MACALLAN CASK STRENGTH
The MACALLAN FINE OAK 10-Year-Old
BOWMORE 25-Year-Old

Suntory Limited is launching three new imported single malt whiskies for the growing single malt market: The MACALLAN CASK STRENGTH, The MACALLAN FINE OAK 10-Year-Old and BOWMORE 25-Year-Old.

Demand has grown in recent years for single malt whiskies, which highlight the individuality of their distillers. In Japan, Suntory sells nine brands of imported single malt whiskies, representing many regions of Scotland, and sales have grown 20% since last year. The three new whiskies, offered in the popular brands The Macallan and Bowmore, noted for their tradition and quality, will expand this demand even further.
