Read More Brand History
The Yamazaki Distillery, established in 1923, is Japan's first whisky distillery, nestled near Kyoto. Founder Shinjiro Torii chose the location at the foot of Mount Tenno for its renowned '离宫之水' (Rikyu no Mizu) spring water and ideal humidity for whisky maturation. Yamazaki 18 Year Old was first launched in 1992 and quickly became a core jewel of the brand. The soul of this whisky lies in the diverse blending of casks, particularly the use of the extremely rare and expensive Mizunara (Japanese Oak) Cask. Mizunara grows slowly and has porous wood, often leading to leakage, but extended aging imbues the spirit with unique sandalwood, incense, and tropical fruit aromas. Yamazaki 18 Year Old has won numerous international awards, including multiple Gold Medals and Trophies from the ISC (International Spirits Challenge) and SWSC (San Francisco World Spirits Competition), cementing its reputation globally as one of the most balanced and elegant single malt whiskies.
