Yamazaki has been passed for generations. In 2006 the distillery switched to a small pot still in order to produce a variety of high quality straight malts, with a depth and richness that could withstand long periods of aging.

Yamazaki single malts are legends. They are hard to find and not easy to buy when found. All of their Whiskies have won numerous prizes.

The 12YO Yamazaki is delicate and fruity, whereas the 18YO is darker with dried fruits, chocolate and Mizunara. Their 25YO is a rich, complex one with aromatic and bitter compontents.

The Distiller's Reserve is often referred to as the starting point of Yamazaki with red forest fruits and Mizunara.
