Description
The vale of Yamazaki at Tennozan Mountiain on the outskirts of Kyoto was the birthplace of Japanese Whisky. The malt whisky produced at the Yamazaki Distillery, with a tradition dating back to 1923, has slept through a long cycle of Japan's colourful seasons, the brightness of spring, the luxuriant green of summer, the vermillion foliage of autumn, and the white blanket of winter. Pure malt whisky 'Yamazaki' uses only 100% malt whiskies of at least 12 years old. Radiant and noble, it's flavour is full-bodied and mellow, and the distinctive woody taste of mature malt indices a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. The nose is light with summer fruits and a spiciness. The flavour is sweet and spicy with a body, mainly on the top of your toungue and with a long finish. This 12 year old from Yamazaki first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky.

About the Distillery:
Suntory Holdings Limited commonly referred to as simply Suntory is a Japanese multinational brewing and distilling company group. Established in 1899, it is one of the oldest companies in the distribution of alcoholic beverages in Japan, and makes Japanese whisky. Suntory was started by Shinjirō Torii, who first opened his store Torii Shōten in Osaka on February 1, 1899, to sell imported wines. The store became the Kotobukiya company in 1921 to further expand its business and in 1923, Torii built Japan's first malt whisky distillery Yamazaki Distillery. Production began in December 1924 and five years later Suntory Whisky Shirofuda (White Label), the first single malt whisky made in Japan, was sold.
