✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers converge, the Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese whisky, established by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. This legendary site was chosen for its exceptionally soft, pure water—celebrated by the tea master Sen no Rikyu—and its humid, misty climate, which is ideal for cask maturation. Yamazaki's Single Cask releases, such as the elusive DR70083, represent the pinnacle of Suntory's artisanal craftsmanship. Unlike blended expressions, a single cask bottling is a snapshot of a single moment in time, capturing the unique interaction between the distillate and the specific wood of the barrel, often showcasing an intense, unadulterated profile of dried fruits, deep incense-like spice, and elegant wood notes that define Yamazaki's historic legacy.
🍾 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.
