About Yamazaki

Yamazaki is Japan's first malt whisky distillery, founded in 1923 by Suntory's Shinjiro Torii in the hills between Kyoto and Osaka, where three rivers meet and mist hangs in the air. Its 12 Year Old, launched in 1984, helped put Japanese whisky on the world map.

What makes it special

Yamazaki uses stills of many different shapes and sizes, and several kinds of cask, including sherry casks and mizunara, a rare Japanese oak. This lets the blenders create rich, layered single malts with notes of fruit, spice and incense.

The range

• Distiller's Reserve: bright and fruity, with strawberry, cherry and a hint of mizunara spice. A great introduction.
• 12 Year Old: the classic, with peach, pineapple, coconut and vanilla.
• 18 Year Old: deep and complex, with dark chocolate, dried fruit and sherry richness. One of the world's most sought-after single malts.
• Smoky Batch: a peated Yamazaki, gently smoky.
• Limited Edition: annual releases that showcase rare casks.

How to drink it

Taste it neat first, then add a few drops of water to open the aromas. Distiller's Reserve makes an excellent highball with sparkling water and plenty of ice. Japanese whisky is in high demand, so aged expressions can be scarce.
