✨ Technical Specifications
Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii on the outskirts of Kyoto, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery. The Yamazaki 25 Year Old Limited Edition is a legendary expression of Japanese craftsmanship, revered globally. Traditionally composed of meticulously selected malt whiskies aged for a minimum of a quarter-century in Spanish oak sherry casks, it represents the pinnacle of Suntory's blending art. The pristine water of the Vale of Yamazaki, where three rivers meet, combined with the region's humid climate, creates the perfect environment for maturation. This expression delivers profound notes of dried dark fruits, sandalwood, and complex spice, wrapped in an elegant, velvety texture.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1923 by Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii, the Yamazaki Distillery stands at the foot of Mount Tennozan in Shimamoto, Osaka, as Japan's pioneering commercial malt whisky distillery. Situated where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers converge, the site was specifically selected for its exceptionally soft, pristine water and misty, humid microclimate that provides optimal conditions for barrel maturation. Yamazaki is renowned for its versatile production methodology, deploying washbacks of both wood and stainless steel, uniquely shaped copper pot stills, and a diverse cask regime featuring Japanese Mizunara oak, American oak, and Spanish ex-sherry butts. The distillery is celebrated globally for its layered, multi-dimensional single malt whiskies, most famously its flagship 12- and 18-Year-Old expressions characterized by complex notes of tropical fruit, sandalwood, and delicate spice.
