Toki Means Time
Toki — the Japanese word for "time" — is Suntory's bridge between a century of blending heritage and a spirit of innovation. Developed under the House of Suntory's blending team, led by Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, Toki challenges whisky convention by re-thinking the hierarchy of its components: Hakushu single malt aged in American white oak and Chita heavy-type grain whisky form the blend's two pillars, finished with Yamazaki single malts matured in American and Spanish oak. The result captures the quintessential Suntory characteristics — exquisite balance, harmony, and oneness — in an approachable, everyday bottle.

Tasting Notes
Toki opens with basil, green apple, and honey on the nose — light, fresh, and inviting. The palate brings grapefruit, green grapes, peppermint, and thyme, with a subtly sweet, spicy character underneath. It finishes with a hint of vanilla oak, white pepper, and ginger — a delicate, lingering warmth that makes Toki as rewarding neat as it is in a long drink.
How to Enjoy
Toki was made for the Japanese highball: pour 50ml over ice, add 100ml chilled soda, stir gently, and finish with a twist of grapefruit. It also drinks beautifully neat or on the rocks, and its honeyed lightness makes it a natural fit for whisky cocktails like a Whisky Sour or a Japanese Old Fashioned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What whiskies are in Suntory Toki?
Toki is a blend of selected whiskies from Suntory's three distilleries: malt whiskies from Hakushu and Yamazaki, and grain whisky from Chita. Its defining pairing is Hakushu American white oak cask malt with Chita heavy-type grain whisky, finished with Yamazaki malts aged in American and Spanish oak.
What does "Toki" mean?
"Toki" is the Japanese word for "time." The name symbolizes the connection between past, present, and future — a bridge between the heritage of the House of Suntory's art of blending and its spirit of innovation.
Is Suntory Toki good for cocktails?
Excellent — Toki was designed with the Japanese highball in mind. Its silky, light body and honeyed apple-and-citrus profile mix beautifully with soda, and it works equally well in classic whisky cocktails.
How is Toki different from other Suntory blends?
Unlike blends built around Yamazaki as the key malt component, Toki puts Hakushu malt front and center alongside Chita grain, overturning the traditional malt-over-grain hierarchy. That gives it a fresher, lighter, more vibrant character than Suntory's richer, sherry-led blends.
