Suntory Square Bottle Price and Purchase Address
I remember buying two bottles last year alone. It was easy to find at Namdaemun liquor store and at E-Mart’s Shinchon store. The price seems to have been around the middle to the second half of 30,000 won at Namdaemun. It seems that E-Mart was about 5,000 to 10,000 won more expensive. These days, it’s really hard to find out if there’s not enough. In many cases, Namdaemun Wholesale Market does not have it either. I happened to find Suntory Kakubin at the World Liquor Sinchon branch. I bought it for 45,000 won.
Suntory Square Bottle Story
Sutory is a famous Japanese food giant that produces beer and non-alcoholic beverages as well as whiskey. The Yamazaki series and the Acoustic series, which are very famous among Japanese whiskey, are Suntory’s representative products. In addition, it owns many whiskey brands through mergers and acquisitions. The famous pit whisky, Loughroik and Bomore, own Suntory. The bourbon whiskey brands Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark are Suntory’s brands, especially Jim Beam, which was acquired and merged with Suntory in 2013 and became a global liquor company with global emergency sales. What is the world’s third largest liquor company as of 2014? (Source: Namwiki)
Suntory produced whiskey in 1929 and Suntory square bottle products in 1937. It’s very famous for highball, and it’s cheap and easy to access whiskey, especially in Japan.
Kakubin, a square bottle, means “square bottle” and is named after a pattern reminiscent of Suntory’s unique square bottle and turtle crust. Originally, the official name was not Kakubin, but the nickname became more famous and eventually became a name.Suntory Square Bottle Tasting Machine (Review)Suntory Kakubin is a blend of grain whiskey made by Suntory with the malt whiskey stock solution of Hakushu Distillery and Yamazaki Distillery.Cosi Tabellini Champagne Glass, with a slightly different glass today…Suntory Square Bottle Tasting Note Aroma: Sweet Grain, Vanilla, Pear Taste: Light, Soft Fruit, Spicy Finish: Clean, Dry Finish Daily Shot, Suntory Square Bottle”Overall, it’s light, and it’s not that it has a strong flavor, but it feels like it stops at a certain level.” The term “sweet grain” seems to explain the taste of square bottles well. It smells sweet, but rather than greasy or honey-sweet. Compared to single malt and highly aged blended whisky, the taste is less complex and has a slightly flat texture, but the taste is simple, so it tastes great when eating highball.Cosi Tabellini Champagne GlassThe color is close to light amber. By the way, Cosi Tabellini is an Italian tableware brand. It has an extremely vicious price, but I fell in love with the vintage charm. It is famous for making products by mixing different materials such as glass and tin. Recommended for those who use it as a point dish!!!!! Just one plate or glass is perfect for brunch or simple breakfast. It makes me feel better :)To give you a general review… I think Suntory Kakubin is more like Suntory Kakubin itself than whiskey. It’s not a high-quality whiskey, but it’s not unique, but it’s obvious that it’s your own color. There may be differences between likes and dislikes, but personally, I think it’s a good whiskey to drink with knitwear. Of course, there is a very strong knit competitor called Johnny Walker Black (about 40,000 won) in a similar price range.Reuse ★★☆ Cost performance ●●○☆☆☆: No intention to reuse ★☆☆: Buy a bottle, good for a glass ★★★: Reuse intention ●○○: Get it as soon as you see it! ○○○: Accept the price as a chest ●●●: Rather than falsetto… Cost performance! ●●○: Good cost performance ★★☆: Good cost performance머이위의 스키 2019 2019 2019 2019 “92” 92-75-79.5 Average, usually fun, but sometimes flawed. 80-84.5 Delicious whiskey worth trying. 85-89.5 From very good whiskey to the best whiskey, it’s definitely worth buying. 90 to 93.5 Brilliant.94-97.5 Superstar Whiskey that tells you why to live [Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible 2022]머이위의 스키 2019 2019 2019 2019 “92” 92-75-79.5 Average, usually fun, but sometimes flawed. 80-84.5 Delicious whiskey worth trying. 85-89.5 From very good whiskey to the best whiskey, it’s definitely worth buying. 90 to 93.5 Brilliant.94-97.5 Superstar Whiskey that tells you why to live [Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible 2022]
