FS-STR-011 SIZE SUNTORY OLD WHISKY, ZODIAC COLLECTION

📌 Overview

The “Zodiac Collection” from Suntory (Old / Royal / Zodiac decanters) uses full-size bottles/decanters rather than miniatures. The collection includes special ceramic or porcelain decanters with Zodiac-animal themes.

🔍 Key Details

• Producer: Suntory (Japan)

• Type: Blended whisky (Old / Royal / Zodiac series)

• ABV: 43% typical for Zodiac bottlings

• Common Bottle / Decanter Sizes: 600 ml or 700 ml, depending on release, animal, or year

• Status: Limited-edition collectible decanter series; valued for design and collectibility more than whisky content

📦 Packaging & Presentation

• Ceramic or porcelain decanters shaped or decorated to reflect Zodiac animals

• Designed for display and collectible appeal; many bottles are preserved sealed

• Bottle size may vary by edition and animal (600 ml vs 700 ml)

⭐ Collectibility & Rarity

• Limited runs and decorative decanter design make surviving bottles rare and collectible

• Variation in size and release year adds interest for collectors

• Full sets or good-condition individual decanters are particularly sought after

🧭 What to Know

• Check whether the bottle is 600 ml or 700 ml — both sizes exist depending on edition

• Inspect condition: seal, decanter integrity, label, and cap are crucial

• Decanters are fragile due to ceramic/porcelain material

• Value comes primarily from design, completeness, and condition, not whisky rarity

✨ Why This Matters

• Knowing the size helps distinguish authentic Zodiac decanters from unofficial bottles

• Size affects display, storage, and resale considerations

• Supports collectors in identifying editions and assessing rarity
