✨ Technical Specifications
The Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Selection 2022 is a masterclass in the art of Japanese whisky blending, celebrating 'diversity in the making'—the core philosophy of Suntory's legendary Yamazaki Distillery. Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii on the outskirts of Kyoto, Yamazaki is Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery, situated where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers meet to create a misty, humid microclimate ideal for wood maturation. This limited-edition full set showcases the four essential pillars of Yamazaki's flavor profile: Puncheon (American oak), Peated Malt, Spanish Oak, and the highly coveted, indigenous Mizunara Oak. Each expression reveals how distinct cask selections and malt treatments shape the spirit, reflecting a century of meticulous craftsmanship, innovative distillation, and deep reverence for nature.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1923 by Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii, the Yamazaki Distillery stands at the foot of Mount Tennozan in Shimamoto, Osaka, as Japan's pioneering commercial malt whisky distillery. Situated where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers converge, the site was specifically selected for its exceptionally soft, pristine water and misty, humid microclimate that provides optimal conditions for barrel maturation. Yamazaki is renowned for its versatile production methodology, deploying washbacks of both wood and stainless steel, uniquely shaped copper pot stills, and a diverse cask regime featuring Japanese Mizunara oak, American oak, and Spanish ex-sherry butts. The distillery is celebrated globally for its layered, multi-dimensional single malt whiskies, most famously its flagship 12- and 18-Year-Old expressions characterized by complex notes of tropical fruit, sandalwood, and delicate spice.
