✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from Japan's oldest commercial distillery founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask Bottled 2010 represents the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship. Nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers meet, the distillery benefits from a uniquely humid, misty climate ideal for cask maturation. This expression is matured exclusively in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, which imbue the spirit with a deep mahogany hue and a complex tapestry of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and warm spices. The legendary status of Yamazaki's sherry cask releases lies in this meticulous wood management and the harmonious blending philosophy of Suntory's master blenders.
