What does SUNTORY GROUP Own?
Suntory Group was founded in Osaka, Japan in 1899 by Shinjirō Torii. It was originally a store that sold imported wine, and in 1923 it opened Japan’s first whisky distillery, Yamazaki. In the 21st century it expanded rapidly, acquiring several wine and spirit brands, including Jim Beam, which made them the world’s third largest spirits maker.
