Yamazaki

Discover the exceptional history of the Yamazaki distillery

Embark on a journey through the art of Japanese whisky with Yamazaki, a name that resonates with prestige and tradition in the world of spirits. The Yamazaki distillery, nestled at the confluence of three rivers in the serene Osaka Prefecture, stands as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and enduring passion that define the essence of Yamazaki whisky.

Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory, the Yamazaki distillery is revered as Japan's first and oldest malt whisky distillery. Its inception marked the beginning of Japan's whisky industry and, over the years, the Suntory Yamazaki distillery has continued to pioneer the refinement of whisky-making, blending tradition with innovation to create whiskies of unparalleled quality and character.

At Kent Street Cellars, we are proud to present an exquisite selection of Yamazaki whiskies, each bottle a harmonious symphony of flavours and aromas that captivate the senses.

Explore and expand your palette with new flavours and unique notes

Yamazaki whiskies are distinguished by their exceptional quality, a result of the distillery's unique location and commitment to excellence. The misty climate and pure water sources surrounding the distillery contribute to Yamazaki whisky’s gentle and refined character. These natural gifts, combined with the distillery's use of various types of oak casks for maturation, create a rich palette of flavours that defines the signature Yamazaki experience.

The signature Yamazaki 12-year-old, for instance, unfolds with layers of fruit, including peach, pineapple and citrus, mingled with hints of honey, vanilla and a touch of Mizunara (Japanese oak), creating a rich, mellow character with a pleasantly woody finish. The older Yamazaki 18-year-old delves into deeper territories, presenting a luxurious tapestry of dried fruit, chocolate and a hint of smokiness, underscored by the subtle sweetness/spiciness of cinnamon and a distinctive fragrance.

Each sip of Yamazaki whisky is a testament to the distillery's mastery over the art of whisky-making, capturing the essence of its rich heritage and the natural bounty of its surroundings.
