Concerning hibiki japanese whiskey

Shinjiro Torii established a shop dealing in imported wines in Osaka, Japan, in February 1899. Torii started making his own sweet grape wine, Akadama Port Wine, within ten years, and it quickly gained national acclaim. Having always been interested in whisky, Torri made the decision to grow his company in 1923 and started building Japan’s first whisky distillery, the Yamazaki Distillery.

Torii envisioned a distinctively Japanese approach to whisky, despite being influenced by traditional hibiki harmony whiskey Scottish distilleries. Torii chose a location for his distillery that offered a climate and terrain very different from those of Scotland. Located at the meeting point of the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers, Yamazaki Distillery is tucked away on the outskirts of Kyoto and offers the warm, humid conditions necessary for whisky production and maturing japanese whiskey hibiki.

Keizo Saji carried on his father’s idea and built Suntory’s second distillery fifty years after Yamazaki Distillery was built. The Hakushu Distillery, which is surrounded by around 6,000 different plant species and granite boulders that date back thousands of years, has a unique microclimate in the deep forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in the southern Alps of Japan.
