✨ wine.spec_sheet

Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest commercial whisky distillery. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan where three rivers converge, the distillery benefits from a misty, humid climate and exceptionally soft water, famously praised by tea master Sen no Rikyu. The Yamazaki Single Malt Limited Edition 2015 is a masterful expression that marries young, vibrant single malts aged in American oak with rare, mature whiskies aged for over 20 years in Sherry and prized Mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. This combination yields a complex profile of rich fruit, sweet vanilla, incense-like Mizunara spice, and a velvety, lingering finish.

Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest commercial whisky distillery, located at the scenic convergence of the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers in Osaka Prefecture, where a unique humid microclimate and exceptionally pure water create the ideal environment for spirits maturation. Owned by Suntory, the distillery is globally celebrated for its pioneering craftsmanship and innovative maturation process, which utilizes a diverse array of cask types including Spanish sherry casks, American white oak, and rare Japanese Mizunara oak. Yamazaki's signature style is characterized by a complex, multi-layered fruitiness and deep, spicy incense-like aromas, epitomized by legendary expressions such as their Single Malt 12 and 18 Years Old.
