The Yamazaki 12 years – Whisky

The Yamazaki 12 years – Whisky

Suntory’s story begins in 1923, when Shinjiro Torii begins construction of the first whiskey distillery in Yamazaki, near Kyoto. His dream was to create a distillate capable of blending the nature of the Japanese landscape: he succeeded in 1937, when he launched the first Suntory Whiskey on the market.

The sleek and silky Yamazaki 12 Years divides the review: there are those who say it is an intense whiskey, and those who find it smooth and mellow, perhaps because of its blend of fruity and spicy flavors. Drink it neat, with ice cubes or with soda.
