Distillery Information

This special limited-edition bottling was created in honor of Suntory Whisky's centenary. Part of the Yamazaki family, Japan's quintessential whisky, it is made in Japan's first and oldest malt distillery which was founded in 1923.
Torii started constructing Japan's first malt whisky distillery, Yamazaki, in 1923 on the outskirts of Japan's ancient capital 'Kyoto' in a narrow valley sandwiched between Mt. Tennozan and Mt. Otokoyama. The name Yamazaki, pronounced 'Yama-Sarki', translates as 'Yama' = mountain and 'zaki' = foot of the mountain.
Multi-layered with fruit and Mizunara aromas, Yamazaki whiskies are complex and deep. Made at Yamazaki Distillery, the birthplace of Japanese whisky, its signature multi-layered taste is highly praised by whisky connoisseurs all over the world.
