Producer

Producer

The Yamazaki distillery is nestled in an exceptional terroir, where the surrounding mountains provide pure, soft water, essential to the production of its whiskies. The region's temperate climate allows for optimal aging of the casks, fostering the development of aromas. Yamazaki's artisans, passionate about their craft, oversee every stage of production, ensuring that each bottle reflects the heritage and innovation that characterize Japanese whisky.

Owner and history

Suntory, the parent company of Yamazaki, was founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii. Today, the Torii family continues to lead the company, preserving its heritage and commitment to quality. The current owners, passionate about the art of whisky, have successfully evolved the brand while respecting its roots. Their vision is to create whiskies that capture the essence of Japan, and the Yamazaki 18 Year Old is the perfect example, blending tradition and innovation.

Vinification and aging

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old whisky is crafted using meticulous techniques. The grains are carefully selected and fermented with specific yeasts before being distilled in traditional pot stills. Aging takes place in oak casks, some of which previously held sherry, adding further complexity. This method, combined with rigorous control of maturation conditions, results in a rich and harmonious whisky, emblematic of the Yamazaki style.

The team's opinion

A Japanese whisky of majestic depth, blending noble sherry, black fruits and precious woods in exceptional anniversary elegance.
