Product Description

The Yamazaki 12 Year Old is a masterful expression from Suntory, Japan's first and most renowned whisky producer. Created at the Yamazaki Distillery, which sits outside the historic city of Kyoto, this whisky is a perfect embodiment of Japan’s deep connection to nature and its dedication to craft. Founded on the teachings of the revered monk Sen No Rikyu, who celebrated the area’s pure water and serene landscapes, the distillery has become synonymous with Japanese whisky.

This single malt whisky is Suntory’s flagship product, representing the epitome of Japanese whisky-making. Aged for 12 years, the result is a whisky of great complexity and depth. The careful maturation process in a mix of American oak, European oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak imparts a balance of sweetness, spice, and woodiness that is truly unique to this expression. Its combination of vibrant fruit, smooth honey, and a rich, woody finish captures the delicate art of Japanese whisky, making it one of the most sought-after single malts globally.

Whether you’re a whisky connoisseur or new to the world of Japanese whisky, Yamazaki 12 Year Old offers a sophisticated and harmonious experience, perfect for sipping neat, with a drop of water, or paired with your favourite moments of contemplation.
