The blend used older whiskies than the regular Suntory Old

This premium blend was produced by Nikka from 1982 to 1989 and was released to commemorate Nikka's 40th anniversary

After the discontinuation of Kirin's highly popular Fuji Sanroku 50° in 2019

It's essentially a Johnnie Walker Blue that has undergone a special cask maturation process
