Yamazaki – 12 Year Old Suntory Pure Malt (75cl, 43.00%)

Yamazaki – 12 Year Old Suntory Pure Malt is a single malt whisky from Yamazaki (Japan). Aged 12 years, bottled at 43.00% ABV, 75cl. First introduced in 1984, the Yamazaki 12-year-old was Japan's first seriously marketed single malt. With the introduction of the Distiller's Reserve in 2012, the 12-year-old expression was elevated in the core range and is becoming increasingly difficult to find. The "Suntory Pure Malt" versions are the early examples and were labelled as such until 2004. The oldest single malt whisky distillery in Japan, founded in 1923 by Shinjirō Torii. It is still owned by his company today, now known as Suntory, and its single malt which was bottled for the firs time in 1984 is hugely sought-after. It also provides fillings for blends such as Hibiki.
