Vinification and aging

Yamazaki 18 Year Old is crafted using traditional Japanese methods, emphasizing the quality of the ingredients. The malted grains are carefully selected and then fermented with a specific yeast that enhances the aromas. Distillation takes place in copper pot stills, allowing for optimal flavor extraction. Cask maturation is essential, with each batch resting in oak casks that previously held sherry, imparting rich and complex notes. This meticulous process, combined with appropriate aging time, results in a whisky of great depth, a true reflection of the Japanese terroir.
