Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 awarded World Whisky of the Year in the 2015 edition of Jim Murray s Whisky Bible, scoring 97.5 marks out of 100. This is the first time that a Japanese whisky has received the prestigious accolade in the Whisky Bible s 11-year history.This single malt whisky consists only of sherry casked malts chosen from among the malts that create the flavor of the Yamazaki brand. Jim Murray, the author of the book, hails Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 as near indescribable genius and praises its nose of exquisite boldness and finish of light, teasing spice. Suntory s Yamazaki whiskies are crafted in Japan s oldest distillery. Built in 1923, the Yamazaki Distillery was created by Suntory s founder Shinjiro Torii. Nestled on the periphery of Kyoto, the water is reputed to be among the purest and softest in Japan. He was eager to create perfect Japanese Whisky that reflects the nature of Japan and the spirits of Japanese craftsmanship. Shinjiro Torii s unswerving passion and outstanding craftsmanship have been passed down from generations to generation, who have continued to take Japanese Whisky to new heights.
The sherry casks that have matured this Suntory Yamazaki whisky was made from Spanish oak, in Spain, to Suntorys exacting spezifications. The casks are, in accordance with Suntorys uncompromising specifications, filled with Olosoro sherry and seasoned over the years there. The tannins and other polyphenols contained in the Spanish Oak imbue the spirit with a darker reddish hue than is found with commonly-used American oak casks. The tradional sherry casks is thus one of the cradles in which Yamazaki single malt whiskies are natured. We invite you to sit back and enjoy its rich, fruity aromas and the excellent balance of sweet and sour flavours, all courtesy of carefully-selected Spanish oak.
