✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery. Situated where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers meet, the distillery benefits from a misty climate and exceptionally soft water, famously praised by legendary tea master Sen no Rikyu. The Yamazaki Single Malt Limited Edition Bottled in 2014 is a masterful marriage of vintages. It blends young, vibrant single malts matured in American oak bourbon barrels with rare, deeply aged malts matured in European oak Sherry and highly prized Mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. This combination yields a complex spirit rich with notes of ripe pineapple, sweet vanilla, dried fruit, and the signature temple incense and sandalwood spice notes characteristic of ancient Mizunara oak.

🍾 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.
