Description:
100th Anniversary Limited Edition. This Yamazaki Mizunara Single Malt is a marriage of voraciously selected malt whiskies all aged for a minimum of 18 years entirely in Mizunara casks, created in celebration of Suntory Whisky’s centenary. The result showcases the rare, distinctive beauty of Mizunara oak, which is considered the signature “enhancer” of Yamazaki, providing unique Japanese character and elegance.
The name “Mizunara” has evolved from the Japanese words “Mizu” meaning water and “nara” meaning oak. Mizunara is found in only a few parts of Japan and is quite capricious with the wood been both hard and permeable making it difficult to shape and hold liquid meaning it’s susceptible to leaks. Therefore, only the finest barrel makers at the top of their game are employed by the House of Suntory who work their magic in producing these amazing Mizunara Casks. Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo selected whiskies aged in Mizunara of varying ages from at least 18 years with a small portion of the blend exceeding 50 years of maturation.

This special offering has the potential to be a real investment grade whisky that should appreciate nicely over time. In stock and available!
