Yamazaki – 18 Year Old (70cl, 43%)

Yamazaki – 18 Year Old is a whisky from Yamazaki (Japanese). Aged 18 years, bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan’s first bona fide whisky distillery. Sitting in between Osaka and Kyoto - served by the converging rivers of Katsura, Uji, and Kizu - the stills are varied in shape, size, lyne arm position and some are direct-fired while others are steam-heated. All of which allows for a creation of many different styles of spirit destined for blending as well as bottling as single malt. A wonderful example of what Japanese whisky is capable of. Gold Medal Winner in the International Spirits Challenge 2007. Please examine the images of the bottle.
