Suntory, The Yamazaki, Distiller's Reserve, Single Malt Whisky, Japan (43%)

Description

The Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve is an introductory whisky to the range, shows the impeccable skill of Suntory master blender Shinji Fukuyo. In addition to holding the honour of Japan’s oldest single malt whisky distillery, his team at Yamazaki create myriad complexities of spirit, through varying many facets of the fermentation, distillation and maturation process. These multifarious barrels are then married with supreme skill to create this delicious bottling. Softly sweet, with oak richness and hints of exotic spice, this is always a pleasure to share.

About this spirit

The House of Suntory

Yamazaki was Japan’s first distillery, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Tori. Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky-making, but wanting to create something distinctly Japanese, Tori selected a site on the periphery of Kyoto, Japan’s ancient cultural centre.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
