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.
Part of Yamazaki's annual Cask Collection release. This is an interesting whisky as it uses an unusual cask for maturation - one made of indigenous Mizunara oak. (That's Quercus mongolica for you fact fans) Not often used for maturation as the loose grain of the wood makes it prone to leakage, although it is prized for the flavours it imparts.
Bottled: 2013
Cask Type: Mizunara (Japanese Oak)
48% ABV / 70cl
