Suntory Old Whisky 1987 Year Book Bottling Note

Suntory Old Whisky 1987 Year Book is a unique bottle that encapsulates the golden age of Japanese whisky.

The Year Book’s most distinctive feature is its book-shaped bottle. This innovative design, a departure from traditional whisky bottles, was introduced by Suntory in the late 1980s as a limited edition release. The idea behind the book-shaped bottle was to create a collectible piece that combined the enjoyment of whisky with the appreciation of literature.

Suntory offered book-shaped bottles for its Old Whisky, Special Reserve, and Royal. The Old Whisky, in particular, featured various designs and labels across different years.
