Japanese Whisky Yamazaki is considered to be Japan's oldest distillery. It was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, a Scotch whisky enthusiast who dreamed of creating his own whiskies in this famous style, but adapted to the Japanese palate. The distillery is located in Kyoto, in a region that boasts an ideal climate for ageing whisky and water of incredible quality and purity. Yamazaki 12 Year Old is Suntory's flagship whisky. It is aged for 12 years in three different types of wood: American oak, Spanish oak and Japanese Mizunara oak. A whisky that unfurls its seductive malt on the tongue and offers delicious fruity notes. Yamazaki 12 Year Old is a juicy, intense and captivating whisky.
