Description:
The Yamazaki 12 Years Old Single Malt is a marriage of carefully selected malt whiskies all laid to rest for a minimum of 12 years. The expression was created in celebration of Suntory Whisky’s centenary. It’s made in Japan’s first and oldest malt distillery which was founded in 1923. Yamazaki means “mountain cape”, referencing its unique geographic location – secluded amongst a range of forest covered mountains. The bottle design pays tribute to Yamazaki, the birthplace of Japanese Whisky, captures this legendary distillery in deep copper tones, and is a reminder to always respect our past.

The original Yamazaki 12-year-old arrived onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky. Made from 100% malted barley, the whisky is produced in copper pot stills and matured in casks of American, Spanish and Japanese oak.
