✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 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.
