Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest commercial whisky distillery, situated in a misty vale where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers converge. This unique microclimate provides the soft, pure water essential to Yamazaki's legendary spirit. The Yamazaki Single Malt Limited Edition Bottled 2017 is a masterfully curated release that marries younger single malts matured in American white oak casks with highly prized, deeply aged single malts matured in European oak Sherry casks and rare Japanese Mizunara oak. This combination yields a complex profile of rich fruit, incense-like sandalwood notes from the Mizunara, and a velvety, spicy finish, embodying the meticulous blending philosophy of Suntory's master blenders.
