✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii near Kyoto, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery. 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 legendary spirit. The Private Cask series represents the pinnacle of Yamazaki's artisanal craft, featuring ultra-rare single cask bottlings. This specific expression, matured exclusively in a single Spanish oak Sherry cask, showcases a profound mahogany hue and an opulent profile of dried dark fruits, rich cacao, clove, and aromatic incense. It stands as a testament to the meticulous harmony between Japanese blending philosophy and traditional European wood management.
🍾 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.
