Yamazaki Distillery

YAMAZAKI. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN IN 1923.

The Yamazaki Distillery is Japan’s first and oldest malt whisky distillery established in 1923 by Suntory’s founder Shinjiro Torii.

Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, Torii envisioned a Japanese approach by choosing a terrain and climate completely different to those of Scotland to create a unique kind of whisky. The Yamazaki Distillery is thus the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Nestled proudly on the periphery of Kyoto, this region was formerly referred to as “Minaseno”, where one of the purest waters of Japan originates.

Yamazaki 18 is also home to Sen no Rikyu, Master of “The Way of Tea.” Yamazaki Distillery is where the Katsura, Uji and Kizu rivers converge, providing a unique misty climate and one of Japan’s softest waters. The diversity of this region’s temperature and humidity creates ideal conditions for cask aging, known as the signature “Suntory Maturation”.

test is really nice but bit expensive.
Simone – May 17, 2022

I love this and so when I tried this I am now torn because this flavour is delicious.
I drink it with cloudy lemonade and ice.
Dyanna – May 17, 2022

Was hesitant at first especially with the price of it but it far exceeded my expectations. Could drink it straight which is a rarity for me and there was a distinctive lack of hand sanitizer aftertaste seen with other vodka. Would highly recommend to others and is really nice when mixed with tropical fruit juices.

Really nice. Tastes like Holiday

One of my favourite flavours from them finished it in less than a hour, alcoholic??? Maybe.
Angelle – May 18, 2022

This has to be one of my favourites
It is a little sweeter than I thought it would be but paired with ice and a splash of tonic water is perfect!
Celesta – May 18, 2022

Tasting notes

Aroma of raisins, apricots and coffee. Initial notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits and cinnamon give way to a long, profound finish with a touch of sweetness.

Short Story

In February of 1899, Shinjiro Torii opened a store in Osaka, Japan that sold imported wines. Within a decade, Torii’s store began producing its own sweet grape wine called Akadama Port Wine. The wine became incredibly popular in Japan and in 1923, Torii — fascinated by whisky — decided to expand his business and began construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s first-ever whisky distillery.

Although inspired by traditional Scottish distilleries, Torii envisioned a Japanese approach to distillation and chose a location for the distillery that offered a climate and terrain that were completely different to those of Scotland. As a result, Yamazaki Distillery is situated at the confluence of three rivers — the Katsura, Uji and Kizu — just outside the city of Kyoto, which offers a warm, damp environment, ideal for the production and maturation of whisky.

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is made from 100% malted barley, which is milled and mashed before being fermented in Suntory’s proprietary wooden vats. After fermentation, the whisky is distilled through Suntory’s copper-pot stills — the first of their kind outside of Scotland — before being aged in casks made of three different types of woods: American, Spanish and Japanese oak (the Japanese oak adds an Asian twist to the whisky).

“This is all done by hand — the traditional way,” says Osamu Abe, the manager of Yamazaki Distillery, referring to the cooperage taking place at the distillery. “This is called yagura — craftsmanship. You must watch and listen to how they’re made. In Japan, we say “˜use all 5 senses.’ Of course we learn from others, but our own senses are key.”

After aging for 18 years in Japan’s unique environment — the constant changes in temperature and humidity affect the casks’ breathing and the interaction between the wood and the whisky — the whisky is brought to proof before being bottled.

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky has a copper, bronze color with an aroma of raisins, apricots and coffee. The initial notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits and cinnamon give way to a long, profound finish that has a touch of sweetness.

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky has earned an astounding five Double Gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and was named “Best Other Whisky” in 2009, 2011 and 2012. It also earned a score of 96 points from the Beverage Tasting Institute and 95 points from Wine Enthusiast.
