The Bar Journal

Suntory has unveiled four Yamazaki single malt whiskies aged in each of the different wooden casks manufactured in its cooperage.

Eagerly awaited by collectors and connoisseurs is the unusual Yamazaki Mizunara. Unique to Japan, this indigenous oak imparts exquisite aromas of incense and a deep lingering after-taste.

The whiskies in the Yamazaki Cask Collection are Yamazaki Bourbon Barrel, Yamazaki Puncheon, Yamazaki Sherry Cask and Yamazaki Mizunara. The play of different woods and barrel sizes and the six different types of pot still, reveals the wide variety of whisky styles which can be created at the Suntory distillery at Yamazaki near Kyoto.
