Product Description
Product Description
In 1923, Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory and the father of Japanese whisky, built Japan’s first malt whisky distillery in the Vale of Yamazaki. The distillery’s location on the outskirts of Japan’s ancient capital of Kyoto offered pure waters, diversity of climate and high humidity—the ideal environment for the maturation of good whisky. Today, Suntory Yamazaki is one of the most popular single malt whiskies in Japan and enjoyed by whiskey connoisseurs around the world.
Product Description
The vale of Yamazaki at Tennozan Mountiain on the outskirts of Kyoto was the birthplace of Japanese Whiskey.
The malt whiskey produced at the Yamazaki Distillery, with a tradition dating back to 1923, has slept through a long cycle of Japan's colourful seasons - the brightness of spring, the luxuriant green of summer, the vermillion foliage of autumn, and the white blanket of winter.
Pure malt whiskey 'Yamazaki' uses only 100% malt whiskies of at least 12 years old.
Radiant and noble, it's flavour is full-bodied and mellow, and the distinctive woody taste of mature malt indices a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.
The nose is light with summer fruits and a spiciness. The flavour is sweet and spicy with a body, mainly on the top of your toungue and with a long finish.

This is one of my favourite whiskeys. It is a beautiful drink and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has never tried it before.
It is unpeated, so there is a nice clean taste.
Japanese whiskies are frequently voted the best, in the World Whisky awards each year.

I bought this product for my husband who is a connoisseur of whisky (so he tells me!). Normally, we stick to the Scots whiskies, our favourites being Islay and Jura brands. The peatier the better! So for us to choose a Japanese whisky was unusual. We are so glad we did!
This whisky has a gloriously smooth taste and mellow undertones. It is easy on the palate and easily digested without the unpleasant after taste some whiskies can leave. And all that without a hint of peat anywhere.
The packaging is pleasant and delivery arrived within specified timescales.
Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase. I can honestly say that my husband and I are now converted and will be indulging in more Japanese "nectar" in the future. Well done Suntory!

I have drunk this for a long time now and have paid up to �57 a bottle. Don't be put off by only 12 year old its better than 24 year old Scotch.

Although I haven't tried the contents, a �68 bottle of whisky for less than half that price and in the top 10% of all whiskies is a great bargain. Well packaged and delivered when stated.

A mild chocolate smooth flavour ideal for those who find the more peaty malts are not quite to their taste.
