About the Producer

Yamazaki Story

The Yamazaki Distillery is the birthplace of Japanese whisky — founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory, in a valley south of Kyoto where the Katsura, Uji and Kizu rivers meet. This exceptional location, where warm and cool air currents converge to create a uniquely humid microclimate, has defined the character of Yamazaki single malt for over a century. Yamazaki pioneered the use of Japanese Mizunara oak — an incredibly rare and porous wood that imparts extraordinary aromas of incense, sandalwood, coconut and exotic spice found nowhere else in the world of whisky. The distillery operates a remarkable range of pot stills of different shapes and sizes, each producing spirits of distinct character, which master blender Shinji Fukuyo combines to create whiskies of astonishing complexity. Yamazaki 18 Year Old and 25 Year Old are consistently rated among the finest whiskies in the world. The rare single cask and limited releases — some aged over 50 years — command prices at auction ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Swiss Francs. A bottle of aged Yamazaki is one of the most prestigious and sought-after collector’s items in the entire world of spirits.
