DISTILLERS DESCRIPTION:

Yamazaki 12 Year 100th Anniversary Edition,  A Century of Craft, Bottled in Gold

Celebrating a hundred years of Japanese whisky mastery, the Yamazaki 12 Year 100th Anniversary Edition is more than just a bottle—it’s a tribute to the legacy of Suntory and the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Distilled at the iconic Yamazaki Distillery, this limited-edition release commemorates a century of innovation, precision, and passion, wrapped in refined packaging that reflects its historical importance and cultural depth.

Aged in a selection of carefully curated casks—primarily American oak with nuanced touches of Japanese Mizunara—this 12-year-old single malt remains faithful to Yamazaki’s delicate house style while offering new layers of complexity. On the nose, it delivers elegant aromas of golden peach, coconut, and clover honey, backed by whispers of orchid blossom, vanilla, and warm oak. The palate is soft and balanced, with flavors of apricot marmalade, toasted almond, and light toffee, followed by deeper notes of sandalwood, ginger spice, and smoky incense. The finish is long, harmonious, and gently spiced—carrying traces of dried fruit, subtle earth, and sweet oak.

Why It’s Exceptional:

• 100th Anniversary Edition: A collector’s bottle marking a century of Suntory’s pioneering whisky tradition.
• Classic Yamazaki Profile: Floral, fruity, and subtly oaked, with enhanced layers of depth and elegance.
• Japanese Whisky Heritage: From the first and most storied distillery in Japan, with a legacy of global acclaim.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector of Japanese whisky, a Yamazaki loyalist, or simply seeking a piece of whisky history, the Yamazaki 12 Year 100th Anniversary Edition is a refined expression that honors the past while raising a glass to the next hundred years.

Sip the century. Savor the legacy.
