Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii on the outskirts of Kyoto, Yamazaki is the legendary birthplace of Japanese whisky. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan, the distillery benefits from a unique misty climate where three rivers converge, creating the perfect humidity for cask aging. The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Limited Edition is a masterpiece of blending, showcasing spirits aged predominantly in sherry casks, alongside Mizunara (Japanese oak) and American oak barrels. This highly sought-after expression is celebrated for its deep amber hue, complex layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and the signature incense-like sandalwood notes imparted by the rare Mizunara oak.
