Buy Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Online from KL Wine Merchants. Suntory makes the Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky from 100% malted barley, milling and mashing it before fermenting in their proprietary wooden vats. After fermentation, they distill the whisky through Suntory’s copper-pot stills, the first of their kind outside Scotland, and age it in casks made of American, Spanish, and Japanese oak, with the 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 18 years in Japan’s unique environment, which influences the casks’ breathing and the wood-whisky interaction, they bring the whisky to proof before bottling.

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky has won five Double Gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It also received the title of “Best Other Whisky” in 2009, 2011, and 2012. It also earned 96 points from the Beverage Tasting Institute and 95 points from Wine Enthusiast.
