Yamazaki Whisky boasts an unparalleled pedigree as the birthplace of Japanese single malt whisky, with its distillery founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923, marking the true beginning of commercial whisky production in Japan. Nestled at the confluence of three rivers near Kyoto, its unique terroir with pristine water and diverse microclimates allows for the creation of a vast array of distillates. This foundational role, combined with Suntory's continuous innovation in cask maturation, including the iconic Mizunara oak, has elevated Yamazaki to a globally revered status, consistently earning top accolades and setting the benchmark for Japanese whisky excellence.
