Lot number: 104-06759

Winning bid: £14,500

Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan's first bona fide whisky distillery. Sitting in between Osaka and Kyoto - served by the converging rivers of Katsura, Uji, and Kizu - 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.

Bottled: September 2008

Cask Type: Mizunara Butt

Cask Number: RF1037

55% ABV / 70cl
