Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Situated on the misty outskirts of Kyoto where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers meet, the distillery benefits from a unique humid microclimate and exceptionally soft water, famously praised by legendary tea master Sen no Rikyu. The Yamazaki Single Malt Peated Malt Bottled 2020 is a rare, curated release that shines a spotlight on one of the foundational blending components of Yamazaki's classic expressions. While Yamazaki is renowned for its elegant, fruit-forward, and Mizunara oak-influenced profile, this special bottling showcases heavily peated barley. The result is an exquisite harmony of intense, refined peat smoke, maritime undertones, and the distillery's signature orchard fruit sweetness, offering a rare glimpse into the art of Japanese whisky blending.
