(Toki Suntory Whisky Black)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Suntory <\/a>Whisky Toki has released its first limited-edition whisky, Toki Black, which blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a jazzy twist. The new expression, a departure from the original Toki’s light and smooth profile, introduces a subtle smokiness by incorporating peated and grain malts from the Hakushu distillery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name “Toki” translates to “time,” reflecting a core Japanese value that respects heritage while embracing new ideas, a fitting name for the bottle’s jazz-inspired rollout. Suntory partnered with Grammy-nominated American producer Terrace Martin and Japanese jazz artist Ryota Nozaki, known as Jazztronik. The collaboration includes a film and a bespoke vinyl record inspired by the Japanese Jazz Kissa culture and the philosophy of Ichigo Ichie, which highlights the uniqueness of every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
