Description
"Torys" is a whisky series from Suntory, which was launched shortly after the Second World War with the slogan "Good Taste, Good Value". "Torys" was designed as a whisky for beginners and made its debut in Japan in 1946. As whisky was an absolute luxury item at the time, "Torys" quickly became very popular, offering fine taste at a good price. In 1958, "Uncle Torys" debuted as a brand icon on the bottle. It symbolized the typical office worker who enjoyed a glass of whiskey at the end of the day to unwind from a hard day's work. Uncle Torys was very popular at the time of rapid economic growth in Japan and became Suntory's corporate mascot. In addition to commercials, Uncle Torys can still be found on labels and packaging of individual Torys series.

About Suntory
Suntory is one of the five largest spirits producers in the world and Japan's largest whisky producer with a market share of 70 percent. The company was founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii and is one of the oldest in the distribution of alcoholic beverages. Originally Suntory was a brewery and distillery, but the business areas have been steadily expanded. Today Suntory produces almost everything from coffee and soft drinks to fine wines, alcopops, beer, ice cream and flowers. The company is based in Osaka. In April 2014, Suntory bought out the spirits giant Beam Inc. for 13.6 billion dollars. Since then, the company has been represented in Germany as Beam Suntory. The Suntory Group includes brands such as Laphroaig, Marker's Mark, Canadian Club, Sauza Tequila and the German winery Robert Weil. However, Suntory is known beyond Japan for its excellent whiskies such as Yamazaki and Hibiki. The Yamazaki Single Malt was launched in 1984 and won the gold medal at the International Spirit Competition (ISC) in Great Britain for the first time in 2003. Since then it has been celebrated as the best-selling Japanese Single Malt. Suntory ISC has already received the coveted "Distiller of the Year" award several times in a row. Nowadays, the company can hardly be saved from prizes for its great whiskies. Suntory also became famous through the film "Lost in Translation" by Sofia Coppola with Bill Murray in the leading role. This is where the famous quote "For relaxing times make it Suntory time!" came from, which Bill Murray had to recite in a commercial for Hibiki 17. Many people claim that this was the beginning of the boom after Japanese whisky.
