Buy Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Edition Single Malt Whisky Online from KL Wine Merchants. The Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 is made from 100% malted barley, milled and mashed, then fermented with water from the foothills of Mount Tenno, favored by Japan’s legendary tea master Sen No Rikyu. After fermentation, the wash is distilled in Suntory’s copper-pot stills, the first of their kind outside Scotland. The whisky is then aged in oloroso sherry casks, giving it a rich and fruity taste profile.

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

Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 was named “Whisky of the Year” by Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible.
