✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest commercial distillery, nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan where three rivers converge to create a unique, misty microclimate perfect for whisky maturation. This rare single cask bottling, drawn from Sherry Butt Cask No. CU 70095 and bottled in 2013, represents the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship. The Spanish oak sherry butt imparts a deep, mahogany hue and a luxurious profile rich with dried dark fruits, espresso, dark chocolate, and exotic spices. Yamazaki's legendary water source, once praised by the historical tea master Sen no Rikyu, provides the soft, pure foundation that allows these intense sherry-cask influences to integrate harmoniously, creating a legendary dram of immense depth and historical significance.

🍾 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.
