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.
