About this bottle
-
Yamazaki Golden Promise
The Yamazaki Golden Promise is composed from Golden Promise barley. First grown in Scotland in the 1960s, this varietal is revered for its flavor and malting characteristics. Combined with aging in American Oak casks, the nuances of the Yamazaki base are accentuated through a malty and rich character, with sweet, fruity and citrus notes. -
Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt
Islay peat imparts one of scotch whisky’s most distinctive flavors, venerated globally for its distinctive smokiness. The Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt balances the smoky quality with a characteristic sweetness, borne from the unique water and maturation processes that define Yamazaki whisky. This marriage of traditions is especially present on the nose, where gentle smoke meets a hint of biscuit. -
Yamazaki Mizunara 18 Years Old
Through years of experimentation, our blenders have discovered the secret to the treasures of Mizunara casks: time. A long maturation period imparts unmistakeable spiciness and notes of sandalwood and aloe upon the Yamazaki. As a result, Yamazaki Mizunara Aged 18 Years is a pleasingly complex, rich and elegant whisky, where fruit, spice and wood notes engage to inspire the senses. -
Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Years Old
The Hakushu Peated Malt Aged 18 Years exemplifies the art of marrying ingredients, techniques and terroir. Throughout our long history of using peated malt, House of Suntory blenders have harnessed Hakushu’s climate to unveil intricate layers of flavor from the peated malt’s robust smoke character. Long maturation catalyzed by Hakushu’s exceptionally pure water reveals a wave of clean smoke, deepening into herbaceous mineral notes and undertones of ripe apples.

Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torri, the seeds of Yamazaki were planted when he sent a worker, Masetaka Taketsura, to Scotland to learn the art of whisky distillation. His trip lasted 3 years before he returned and with Torri, selected the site of Yamazaki distillery. The first spirit flowed in 1924 and just a few years later, Torri changed the name of his company to Suntory, which remains in use today. Floor malting did exist at Yamazaki, but this ended in 1971 and has since relied on shipments of barley. The distillery has a unique assortment of stills, coming in all shapes and sizes. This allows a variety of whiskies to be produced, assisted by worm tubs, shell condensers and tube condensers. Production was increased further in 2013 with a $50 million investment, as demand has rocketed for Japanese whisky. Since then, Yamazaki, like so many Japanese distilleries, has suffered from a shortage of stock and has revamped its range to overcome this.
