Wine casks add a smooth sweet and sour accent to Yamazaki. Suntory brings in French oak ex-wine casks and "rigorously" inspects them prior to using them for aging Yamazaki. If you like that particular aspect of Yamazaki, try this bottle -- it's a blend of whiskies aged solely in those wine casks: Yamazaki 2020 Bordeaux Wine Cask Limited Edition.

The standard Yamazaki definitely offerings aren't very peaty, but this 2020 Yamazaki Limited Edition represents a chance to make it so. It's made from only American oak barrels and hogsheads that contained the heavily peated component that makes up a very small portion of regular Yamazaki.

This rare pure malt from Suntory was bottled at Yamanishi and is believed to be a vatting of Hakushu and Yamazaki single malts with 90% of the vats consisting of Hakushu whisky. The red Japanese characters on the middle of the bottle label translates to “Direct Fired” which refers to the distillation technique the distillery uses to refine the whisky. They then employ an innovative bamboo charcoal filtration system and a traditional fermentation process using ‘Kioke Shikomi’ which translates to ‘Matured in Wooden Tubs”. An interesting technique indeed considering Kioke is a tub generally used for making sake.

Distilled in 1981, this expression is the complementary bottling to the Suntory 1991 Furudaru Shiage and with the series finishing in 1999, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to source. We believe it was bottled in 2005, making the malt 24 years old.
