✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted at Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, the Yamazaki Single Malt Limited Edition 2021 represents a masterclass in wood artistry. Yamazaki's location was chosen for its legendary soft water, famously praised by the historic tea master Sen no Rikyu. This highly sought-after bottling celebrates the profound influence of rare Mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. The master blenders at Suntory selected vibrant single malts aged in virgin Mizunara casks, blending them with seasoned malt whiskies to create a profile rich with sandalwood, oriental incense, coconut, and subtle spice. It stands as a tribute to Japanese craftsmanship and the unique microclimate of the Yamazaki valley, where damp mists provide the ideal conditions for cask maturation.
🍾 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.
