The palate is rich and layered, with notes of ripe apricot, honey, dark chocolate, and warm spice, intertwined with the signature Mizunara character of exotic woods and subtle smokiness. The finish is long, refined, and elegantly spiced, leaving lingering hints of sweet oak and incense.

Presented in a 700ml bottle, this 2024 limited edition is a testament to Yamazaki’s mastery of Mizunara cask maturation—an exquisite collector’s item and a remarkable whisky to savor on the most special occasions.

Yamazaki is Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory. Located on the outskirts of Kyoto, the distillery sits at the convergence of three rivers, an area renowned for its pure, soft water and unique microclimate—ideal conditions for whisky maturation.

Over the past century, Yamazaki has become synonymous with Japanese single malt excellence, blending traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques with a distinctly Japanese approach to craftsmanship and precision. The distillery is known for its wide variety of cask types, including American oak, European sherry oak, and the highly prized Japanese Mizunara oak, each imparting unique characteristics to the whisky.

Yamazaki whiskies are celebrated for their elegance, complexity, and balance, with flavor profiles often featuring delicate fruit, rich spice, and subtle oak influences. As a pioneer of Japanese whisky, Yamazaki has earned numerous international awards and remains one of the most respected and collectible names in the global whisky world.
