Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan's first bona fide whisky distillery. Sitting in between Osaka and Kyoto - served by the converging rivers of Katsura, Uji, and Kizu - the stills are varied in shape, size, lyne arm position and some are direct-fired while others are steam-heated. All of which allows for a creation of many different styles of spirit destined for blending as well as bottling as single malt. The 2022 Yamazaki Cask Series is a collection of four whiskies that lifts the veil on the foundational pillars of Yamazaki single malt. Tsukuriwake means “artisanship through a diversity of making”, a philosophy that the House of Suntory has embraced in its entirety. Mizunara The 2022 Edition Yamazaki Mizunara shows off the elegant spice of Japan’s famous mizunara oak. Yamazaki has used this oak since the distillery first opened, and is a perfect pairing for their Whisky. Bottled: 2022 Cask Type: Mizunara 48% ABV / 70cl
