✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Yamazaki, located on the misty outskirts of Kyoto, is Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery, founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii. The site was chosen specifically for its legendary soft water, sourced from the confluence of the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers—a region historically celebrated by tea masters. The Yamazaki 25 Year Old is an extraordinary expression of Japanese blending mastery, composed of rare malt whiskies aged for a quarter-century primarily in Spanish oak sherry casks, alongside components matured in American oak and prized Japanese Mizunara oak. This patient maturation in Japan's distinct four-season climate yields a spirit of profound depth, characterized by dried dark fruits, aromatic sandalwood, traditional incense, and a velvety, spicy finish that epitomizes the meticulous spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Yamazaki Distillery blev grundlagt i 1923 af Suntory-skaberen Shinjiro Torii og troner ved foden af Tennozan-bjerget i Shimamoto, Osaka, som Japans første kommercielle single malt-destilleri. Beliggenheden, hvor floderne Katsura, Uji og Kizu mødes, blev nøje udvalgt på grund af det usædvanligt bløde, rene kildevand samt det tågede, fugtige mikroklima, der skaber optimale betingelser for fadlagring. Yamazaki er berømt for sin alsidige produktionsfilosofi, hvor der anvendes gæringskar af både træ og rustfrit stål, kobberkedler i mange forskellige former og et bredt udvalg af fade – herunder sjældne japanske Mizunara-egetræsfade, amerikanske fade og spanske sherryfade. Destilleriet nyder global anerkendelse for sine komplekse, flerdimensionelle single malts, hvor især de ikoniske 12- og 18-års aftapninger udmærker sig med dybe noter af tropisk frugt, sandeltræ og fine, elegante krydderier.
