Yamazaki Distillery

Mellow, sweet and sour taste derived from Bordeaux wine barrelsThe wine barrels that give the single malt whiskey Yamazaki its mild sweetness, sweet and sour fruitiness, etc. French oak barrels used for wine storage are purchased and only those that have undergone rigorous checks are used to mature the malt whiskey.

The woody and soft taste that can only be obtained by aging in a puncheon cask The puncheon cask, which Suntory selects from American oak and produces in-house, is a stocky cask with a capacity of about 480 liters. The contact area between the whiskey and the barrel material is small, and the maturation process proceeds gently, allowing the original flavor of the spirit to be enjoyed.

This single malt whisky, one of Japan's representative single malt whiskies, was introduced in 1984, the 60th year since the Yamazaki distillery, the birthplace of whisky in Japan, was completed.Mature malts are carefully selected and examined from the treasured malt casks that have been aged over 12 years in Yamazaki's four seasons. Its flavor is highly acclaimed around the world.

The aroma of sweet dried fruits and savory chocolate derived from aging in sherry casks is impressive. The taste has a sense of maturity and depth, which is also latent in the long-aged original wine from Mizunara oak casks. This is a full-bodied type of wine that has been slowly matured mainly from original wine aged in sherry casks for more than 18 years. This is a gem that allows you to enjoy an overwhelming sense of maturity!
