Known as “the pioneer of Japanese whisky” Yamazaki is Japan’s first and oldest distillery. Established in 1923 on the periphery of Kyoto, in a unique, misty region water and mountains offer diversity in nature and temperature, where conditions are ideal for ageing whisky lies the birthplace of Japanese whisky and Suntory’s flagship single malt, Yamazaki. Yamazaki 12-Year-Old offers a characteristically refined Japanese taste, distinguished by an aroma of ripened fruit and a sweet vanilla fragrance thanks to malt whiskies matured in white oak casks. Hidden flavours from the whiskies aged in sherry and mizunara casks produce layer after layer of flavour so the taste never grows tiresome.
