Yamazaki

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.

This 12 year old from Suntory first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky.

Age: 12 Years Old

43% ABV / 18cl

Hibiki

Hibiki is a Japanese blend launched by the whisky giant Suntory in 1989 to celebrate their 90th anniversary; and it is really something special. The malt and grain comes from Suntory's three distilleries and has gained the status of the ultimate Japanese blend. It also received a Gold Editor's Choice award from Whisky Magazine and conquered the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010. Suntory consider all aspects of design when it comes to the Hibiki and the 24-sided bottle represents the 24 Sekki in the Japanese lunar calendar.
