✨ Technical Specifications
Yamazaki, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, is the birthplace of Japanese whisky. The distillery's location at the foot of Mount Tennozan offers exceptionally pure, soft water where three rivers meet, creating a humid, misty microclimate ideal for cask maturation. This highly collectible limited edition features the 'Mizuhiki' seal, a traditional Japanese hand-tied paper cord symbolizing connection and celebration. The single malt itself showcases Yamazaki's signature multi-cask maturation, blending whiskies aged in rare Japanese Mizunara oak, Spanish sherry casks, and American oak. The result is an incredibly complex profile defined by notes of sandalwood, incense, dried fruits, and elegant spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1923 by Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii with technical assistance from Masataka Taketsuru, Yamazaki is the pioneer and foundational benchmark of Japanese whisky. Situated southwest of Kyoto at the foot of Mount Tennozan, the distillery occupies a tranquil river valley where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers converge. This geographic setting engenders an enduring misty microclimate, significant seasonal temperature variations, and access to exceptionally pure, soft subterranean spring water historically lauded by tea master Sen no Rikyu. Uniquely engineered to function as a self-contained ecosystem of distinct styles, Yamazaki employs diverse fermenters alongside pot stills of varied shapes, sizes, and condensation configurations. Its maturation program is celebrated for its virtuosic wood management under Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, incorporating American oak ex-bourbon barrels, Spanish oak sherry butts, and rare indigenous Mizunara Japanese oak. The resulting single malts, led by the flagship 12, 18, and 25 Year Old expressions, are distinguished by sandalwood spice, dried fruit complexity, and aristocratic balance.
