Buy Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Online from KL Wine Merchants. Suntory makes Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky from 100% malted barley, milling and mashing it before fermenting with water from the foothills of Mount Tenno. After fermentation, they distill the wash through Suntory’s copper-pot stills, the first outside Scotland, and mature the whisky in casks of American, Spanish, and Japanese oak, adding an Asian twist.

“This is all done by hand — the traditional way,” says Osamu Abe, the manager of Yamazaki Distillery, referring to the cooperage at the distillery. “This is called yagura — craftsmanship. You must watch and listen to how we make them. In Japan, we say ‘use all 5 senses.’ Of course, we learn from others, but our senses are key.”

After aging for 12 years in Japan’s unique environment, they bring the whisky to proof before bottling.

Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2009 and 2013, and received a score of 92 points from the Beverage Testing Institute.

Tasting Notes

Golden honey color complemented by a floral aroma accented with touches of spice and fruit. Rich and lush, the whisky offers notes of dried stone fruits, toffee, buttered toast, and pepper on the palate. This leads to a long, profound finish.
