Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan's first bona fide whisky distillery. Sitting inbetween Osaka and Kyoto the stills are varied in shape, size, lyne arm position and some are direct fired while others are steam heated. All of which allows for a creation of many different styles of spirit destined for blending as well as bottling as single malt.
An interesting and tasty dram comes to us from Suntory. Following the success of the Distillers Reserve editions of Hakushu and Yamazaki, they have decided to release an older, more exclusive limited edition of the Yamazaki single malt.
With the new 2016 release, Suntory decided to use whisky aged in sherry casks, port wine casks and European oak mixed with younger aged in American oak. Some of these malts are as old as 20 years old.
Released: 2016
