Suntory’s exclusive wooden vats are used to ferment the 100% malted barley used to make the Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky.

You have to hear and see how they are manufactured. We say “use all five senses” in Japan. Naturally, we pick up knowledge from others, but our own intuition is crucial.

Concerning yamazaki whiskey

Shinjiro Torii established a wine import and sales business 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. Torri, who had always been captivated by whisky, made the decision to grow his company in 1923 and started building the Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s first whisky distillery.

Torii envisioned a distinctively Japanese approach to whisky, despite being influenced by traditional Scottish distilleries. Torii chose a location for his distillery that offered a climate and topography that were entirely 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.
