"Here we have Suntory’s multi award-winning Japanese single malt from Yamazaki, the oldest whisky distillery in Japan. The single malt was launched in 1992, and around 80% of the liquid is matured in sherry butts, while the remaining whisky spent its years in American and Mizunara oak casks. An absolutely stunning marriage of fruit, oak and smoky notes, it’s really no wonder why it won so many awards!" -www.masterofmalt.com
Suntory Description
Suntory Whisky was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii. For over three generations, Suntory's master blenders have devoted themselves to pursuing the harmony of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. Shaped through masterful technique and served with a reverence for Japanese omotenashi, Suntory whiskies are among the most awarded and admired in the world.
Yamazaki is the pioneer of single malt Japanese whisky, born in Japan's first and oldest malt distillery. Established in 1923 by Suntory's founder Shinjiro Torii, the Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese Whisky. Nestled proudly on the periphery of Kyoto, in a region formerly known as "Minaseno," Yamazaki is renowned for its soft waters. This incomparable quality, combined with Yamazaki's unique misty climate of varying temperature and humidity, provides the ideal conditions for making whisky. Here, its artisans pursue their founder's legacy through the art of "Tsukuriwake" -the diversity in the making. Diverse fermentation, distillation and maturation techniques create the blending opportunities that are essential to achieving the signature subtle, refined and complex taste that is the Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky.
Deep and multi-layered, Yamazaki is embraced as the authority of single malt Japanese Whiskey from the award winning House of Suntory Whisky.
