DESCRIPTION
The name “Ao” means blue in Japanese, and is meant to signify the massive expanse of (blue) water connecting the five whisky regions that make up this world blend.
The Suntory Ao whisky is made with spirit from five countries: Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada and Japan. The distilleries involved are not disclosed, however Beam Suntory owns (amongst many others) the following distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita (all Japan), Bowmore and Laphroaig (both Scotland), Kilbeggan and Cooley (both Ireland), Jim Beam (USA) and Alberta Distillers (Canada).

TASTING NOTES
NOSE:
Mellow, mild and fruity on the nose. I find soft notes of banana, vanilla, malt and almonds. It comes across as harmonious and mysterious. Certainly has a Japanese feel to it. With time there is more caramel and pepper.
TASTE:
Medium body and smooth mouthfeel. The palate presents white pepper, ginger and vanilla. There is an ample selection of orchard fruits as well.
FINISH:
Medium long finish. Softly floral in character now. Caramel and vanilla ice cream to round it all off.
