Single Malt Sherry Cask 35YO
⏳ Drikkevindue
As an ultra-aged single malt whisky, this spirit is fully matured upon bottling and does not develop further in the glass bottle. It is ready to be savored immediately upon release and, if stored upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, will maintain its exceptional quality indefinitely for decades.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
High-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), slow-roasted Wagyu beef, and mature, rich cheeses such as aged Gouda or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii on the outskirts of Kyoto, the Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Situated at the confluence of the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers, the distillery benefits from a unique misty climate and exceptionally soft water, which are vital to its signature smooth profile. The Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 35 Year Old represents the absolute pinnacle of Japanese spirits craftsmanship. Distilled in the mid-20th century and matured for over three decades in carefully selected Spanish oak sherry casks, this rare expression embodies the slow, quiet passage of time. The sherry casks impart a deep, mahogany hue and a complex tapestry of dried dark fruits, rich cocoa, roasted nuts, and delicate aromatic incense notes reminiscent of Japanese temple wood. It is a legendary bottling that bridges traditional Scottish distilling techniques with Japanese precision and terroir.
🍾 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.
