Suntory, The Yamazaki, 18-Year-Old, Single Malt Whisky, Japan (43%)
About this SPIRIT
The House of Suntory
Yamazaki was Japan’s first distillery, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Tori. Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky-making, but wanting to create something distinctly Japanese, Tori selected a site on the periphery of Kyoto, Japan’s ancient cultural centre.
Here, a unique, humid climate and high-quality water from Mount Tennozan’s springs come together in the production of very special whiskies: Japan’s oldest, and arguably some of its most well-known. Soft waters and frequent mists create ideal conditions for cask ageing here, as do hot summers and colder winters.
The distillery underwent a significant renovation in the late 1980s, which gave the team the ability to produce a variety of whisky styles, including single malts, for which they have now become famous on the global stage.

Description
This single malt whisky comes from the Yamazaki Distillery, Japan's oldest. The malt is aged at least 18 years and vatted. This whisky is characterized by a mature, aromatically sweet nose, a delicate sweetness that comes from its storage in sherry casks, a strong and hearty woodiness and a deep and long-lasting finish.
