From the Producer
Yamazaki is Japan's first malt distillery, built in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii in the Vale of Yamazaki outside Kyoto, where three rivers meet and the humidity sits high year-round. The Cask of Yamazaki was Suntory's single-cask programme: individual casks selected and bottled undiluted rather than blended into the core range. A Spanish oak sherry butt filled in 1990 is a full seventeen years of that cellar's climate working on one cask.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dried fig, prune, dark chocolate, coffee bean, old oak and incense.
- Palate: Deep sherry richness with black fruit, cocoa, spice, polished wood and full cask-strength texture.
- Finish: Long, dark and aromatic, with raisin, sandalwood and lingering oak spice.
Best For
Best for advanced Yamazaki collectors, auction-grade Japanese whisky cellars and rare-bottle gifting
