Yamazaki 25 Year Old Limited Edition A limited edition of around 100 bottles celebrating Japanese hospitality. Suntory’s flagship distillery, Yamazaki was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. The town of Yamazaki was chosen to be the site of Japan’s first commercial distillery due to its very ‘Scottish’ climate, and with it being an area where three rivers converge. In its early days, Yamazaki produced both malt and grain for Suntory's blends, but the opening of the Chita distillery in 1972 allowed the company to focus on its single malt brand. It is now one of the world's most desirable. The first spirit ran from the stills in 1924, on 11th November at 11:11am. This whisky has been matured for 25 years in the finest Oloroso sherry casks. The limited edition bottling is decorated with a five-cord 'Mizuhiki', which symbolises the joining of hands and hearts of the giver and recipient. The Paulownia wooden case is also decorated using traditional Washi paper, depicting the bamboo forests of Yamazak.
