✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
