Over a century ago, the House of Suntory was built on one man's dream to create a whisky that embodies the essence of Japanese nature. A pioneer of Japanese whisky, Shinjiro Torii, brought his vision to life in Yamazaki, the home of Japan's first and oldest malt whisky distillery. Yamazaki takes its name from the region known for its soft water and four distinct seasons. The distillery sits at the convergence of three rivers with a misty climate that is optimal for cask aging, adding depth and delicacy to each bottle. These ideal conditions of nature and the skill and craft of the Yamazaki artisans impart a distinctive Japanese character to the whisky. The House of Suntory provides a rich experience and cultural journey to Japan in every bottle, ready to be discovered by the world.
