The 29-year-old whisky is a limited-edition fusion with a harmonious blend of flavours from Scotland and Japan is exclusive, with only 315 bottles available for purchase in Australia.
The bottle is packed within a box featuring a signature illustration with a bespoke topper and a traditional poem printed on each specially designed casing.
