Beam Suntory limited releases

About this listBeam Suntory

Beam Suntory, the spirits arm of Japan's Suntory Holdings, was renamed Suntory Global Spirits in May 2024, and its Scotch single malt distilleries include Ardmore, Auchentoshan, Bowmore, Glen Garioch and Laphroaig. Its limited releases are run as numbered or dated series under each distillery's own brand rather than under the group name. Bowmore's Timeless Series is a run of very old single malts in editions of 3,000 bottles each: a 27 year old and a travel retail exclusive 31 year old in 2021, then a 29 year old and a 33 year old in 2023. Laphroaig Elements is an experimental series where each numbered release changes one part of production: Elements 1.0 (2023, 58.6% ABV) used a mix of cloudy and semi-cloudy wort and Islay-grown barley, 2.0 (2024) used longer fermentation, and L3.0 (2025, 55.3% ABV) came from an unusually hot kiln fire. Laphroaig's The Ian Hunter Story was five annual releases, Book 1 to Book 5, each an old single malt in a book-style pack telling part of the story of Ian Hunter, the last of the Johnston family to own and manage the distillery between 1908 and 1944. Book 5, a 34 year old, is the final release, so the Ian Hunter set is complete at five bottles while Elements and Timeless remain open series.
