What Makes Yamazaki a Pioneer of Japanese Single Malt Whisky?

Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan’s first commercial whisky distillery. Nestled between Kyoto and Osaka, its location offers pure spring water and a changing climate that shape the whisky’s smooth, layered character.

Yamazaki is also known for using multiple yeast strains and a wide range of casks, from american oak and sherry butts to the rare Japanese Mizunara oak. This careful approach creates whiskies with exceptional depth and balance. Thus, Yamazaki defines the elegant art of Japanese single malt whisky recognised around the world.
