Bottling Notes

Using the cooling water of the Japanese Hills, this stunning find was distilled in June 1983 in straight-head stills at the Yamazaki Distillery. It was then put into second-fill Spanish Oak Sherry butt casks and matured in Ageing Cellar No. 9 North Block of Suntory’s ageing cellar.

It is estimated that 12 casks of 500 litres (each) were selected for vatting ending in a limited run of just 6,000 bottles.This is the only bottle in Australia and virtually impossible to find worldwide. It would be the corner stone of any Japanese whisky collection and a great conversation piece.

Investment grade whisky that should appreciate nicely over time.
