Suntory Toki is one of the best gateway whiskies for Japanese whisky newbies. If you’ve already enjoyed this popular blended whisky neat and in your favorite cocktails, you’ll be glad to learn The House of Suntory is releasing another version of this popular expression called Suntory Toki Black.
Suntory Toki Black
This 86-proof, limited-edition whisky is a blend of Hakushu Peated malt and Hakushu grain whiskies. The result is a symphony of smoke and other flavors. To launch this unique expression, the iconic whisky brand collaborated with Grammy-nominated American producer Terrace Martin and Japanese jazz artist (aka Jazztronik) Ryota Nozaki.
According to the House of Suntory, Toki Black begins with aromas of baked apples, oregano, and honeysuckle. The palate is a mix of butterscotch, clove, cinnamon candy, and memorable, enveloping peat smoke. It was designed to be sipped neat, on the rocks, or mixed into your favorite whisky-based cocktails.
“As our first release in a decade, Toki Black marks a significant milestone for both Toki and The House of Suntory,” Masaki Morimoto, president of The House of Suntory said.
“The name ‘Toki,’ meaning ‘time,’ represents a deep part of Japanese culture—where reverence for tradition meets bold innovation. This limited-edition launch reflects that philosophy, offering a contemporary expression that honors our heritage while engaging a new generation of whisky enthusiasts.”

Suntory Toki Black is available at select retailers throughout the US and the world for a limited time for the suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750ml bottle. Visit The House of Suntory’s website for more details.
