Yamazaki Puncheon Single Malt 2020

Suntorys flagship distillery, Yamazaki was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. The town of Yamazaki was chosen to be the site of Japans first commercial distillery due to its very Scottish climate, and its being an area where three rivers converge. In its early days, Yamazaki produced both malt and grain for Suntory’s blends, but the opening of the Chita distillery in 1972 allowed the company to focus on its single malt brand. It is now one of the world’s most desirable. The first spirit ran from the stills in 1924, on 11th November at 11:11 am.

This 2020 special release was matured in Puncheon casks. Bottled as part of the Tsukuriwake selection.
