Yamazaki 1996 12 Year Old Single Cask 10th Whisky Live
Lot number: 071-2809
Winning bid: £820
Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan's first bona fide whisky distillery. Sitting in between 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.
For Whisky Magazine Live's 10th Anniversary held in Tokyo and London in February 2010, Dave Broom (Editor-In-Chief) picked out this cask, from Yamazaki stock, for this special bottling to mark the occasion.
