The unmistakable character of Yamazaki single malts owes much to careful fermentation, distillation and blending. But the whisky makers at this 100 year old distillery also use a special ingredient to elevate their whiskies, Mizunara.
This native Japanese oak is costly and difficult to work with, but the flavours Mizunara casks impart to whisky are unique and captivating. These are some of some of the finest Yamazaki single malts available today, each one imbued with the distinctive influence of Mizunara.
