Yamazaki Distillery
Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, Yamazaki is Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery and the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Tennozan, it benefits from a humid climate and some of Japan’s purest spring water—ideal for long, complex maturation. Yamazaki is known for its elegant, layered whiskies, often featuring sherry and Mizunara cask influence, and remains a cornerstone of Suntory’s whisky-making philosophy.
