✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Yamazaki Distillery, founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, is the legendary birthplace of Japanese whisky. Situated at the misty confluence of the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers, the distillery benefits from a humid microclimate and exceptionally soft mineral water, which are vital to its signature smooth and deep profile. The Yamazaki Single Malt Limited Edition Bottled in 2022 is a highly coveted release that highlights the exquisite artistry of Mizunara oak. This rare, porous Japanese oak requires up to a century of growth before it can be coopered, ultimately imparting complex, ethereal notes of sandalwood, temple incense, dried persimmon, and coconut to the spirit. This bottling represents a harmonious marriage of carefully selected, premium single malts, reflecting Suntory's blending philosophy and a deep reverence for nature.
🍾 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.
