Sunday's
Sunday's Whisky is led by an award-winning team of restaurateurs, bartenders, and self-proclaimed Japanophiles who have made a name for themselves with some of the most popular restaurant concepts in Hong Kong. The team sought to create a whisky they wanted to use behind the bar that consumers would demand and continue drinking at home that satisfied after a long, hard day.
Sunday’s Whisky is crafted in small batches and made from world grain spirits that is distilled twice. The grain runs through a continuous still and is barrel aged 3-9 years at cask strength resulting in a more round, viscous mouth feel with soft, slightly sweet undertones. The result is a mellow whisky that doesn’t dilute in cocktails or on the rocks and is perfect for highball cocktails.
Sundays are better than others is a play on the saying, “some days are better than others,” that is lighthearted and represents Sunday as a day of leisure. It’s the only day off in the hospitality industry and fondly a day for family and friends to drink, eat, exhale, party, and relax.

Sasanokawa has been producing whisky for a quarter millenia (pre-dating Suntory!) and is home of the Asaka distillery. The distillery is located in Fukushima prefecture.
