✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan where three rivers meet, the Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese whisky, founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. The Owner's Cask program, highly coveted by collectors, offered individuals the rare opportunity to purchase a single, hand-selected cask directly from Suntory's legendary cellars. This specific bottling, matured in a single hogshead (Cask 1V 70014) and bottled in 2008, represents the pinnacle of Yamazaki's artisanal craftsmanship. The local microclimate—characterized by high humidity and distinct seasonal temperature shifts—accelerates the wood interaction, imparting a deep complexity, rich oak character, and signature notes of dried fruit and delicate spice to this ultra-rare single malt.
🍾 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.
