Description

Yamazaki whiskey

Yamazaki whiskey is inspired by traditional Scottish whisky and influenced by the natural environment of Japan. Founded by Shinjiro Torii, the distillery embodies the craftsmanship and mastery required to create exceptional single malt whisky, reflecting the core values of Japanese culture. With its unique climate, pristine water sources, and quality natural materials, Yamazaki whiskey aims to produce a world-class spirit that showcases Japan’s commitment to quality and tradition in whisky-making.

Yamazaki whiskey is epitomized by the Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt, a pioneer in the Japanese whisky scene. Crafted at Suntory’s historic Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s first malt whisky distillery, this exquisite expression captures the artistry and serene beauty of the Yamazaki region.  Aged for 12 years in a combination of American, Spanish, and Japanese oak casks, it benefits from the local soft water and seasonal temperature variations that allow the whisky to develop its character fully. The result is a golden-hued whisky that is rich in aroma, structured, complex, and undeniably one of Japan’s finest offerings.

Yamazaki whiskey holds a significant place in whisky history as the birthplace of Japanese whisky and the flagship product of Suntory. Celebrating 100 years of whisky-making, the House of Suntory has launched a range of centennial releases, featuring Yamazaki alongside Hakushu and Hibiki. The distillery’s legacy began in 1923 when Torii chose the Vale of Yamazaki for its ideal conditions. With the expertise of Taketsuru Masataka, who brought knowledge from Scotland, Yamazaki produced its first whisky, Shirofuda, in 1929, followed by the popular Kakubin in 1937. Renowned for its layered spiced and fruity taste, the 12 Year Old Single Malt appeals to a wide spectrum of whisky enthusiasts, making it a fantastic introduction to Japan’s rich whisky heritage.
