Japanese Whisky
Japanese whisky is one of the most sought-after categories of spirit in the world. To make sure that its makers are more transparent as to what’s in the bottle, The Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association has laid out strict guidelines for its members as to what they can call Japanese whisky – the whiskies in this category all meet those guidelines.

Japanese whisky is much older than people often realize, with the first malt distillery producing spirit in 1923. The past century has seen a small number of distilleries define a wide range of Japanese whisky styles, but since the early 2000s we have seen a rapid acceleration in both popularity and innovation. Where there once only a handful of producers, there are now tens, and Japanese whisky is branching out into a new era of whisky making.

Here we have Suntory’s multi award-winning Japanese single malt from Yamazaki, the oldest whisky distillery in Japan. The single malt was launched in 1992, and around 80% of the liquid is matured in sherry butts, while the remaining whisky spent its years in American and Mizunara oak casks. An absolutely stunning marriage of fruit, oak and smoky notes, it’s really no wonder why it won so many awards!
