✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Nestled at the foot of Mount Tennozan where three rivers meet, the Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese whisky, established by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. The unique misty climate and exceptionally soft water—famed since the 16th century when tea master Sen no Rikyu established his tea house nearby—provide the ideal conditions for maturation. This rare single cask release, 'The Cask of Yamazaki Sherry Butt Cask No ON70646,' was matured in a single Spanish oak sherry butt before being bottled in 2008. The sherry butt maturation imparts a deep amber hue and a complex profile of dried dark fruits, rich cacao, sweet spices, and a delicate balsamic undertone, representing the pinnacle of Yamazaki's artisanal single-cask program.

🍾 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.
