The malt whisky produced at this Yamazaki Distillery, with a tradition dating back to 1923, has slept through a long cycle of Japan’s colourful seasons, the brighness of Spring, the luxuriant green of Summer, the vermilion foliage of Autumn and the white blanket of Winter. The vale of Yamazaki at Tennozan Mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto was the birthplace of Japanese whisky. This 10 year old Yamazaki is said to be multi-layered in taste and is highly praised by whisky connoisseurs. It first came onto the scene in the late 1980s and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky. Yamazaki is arguably the number 1 single malt whisky in Japan and this would be a great contender for Suntory’s flagship single malt. Size: 70 cl ABV: 40% Please note the minor scruff marks due to to the age of the bottle
