malt whiskey distillery
The delicate yet powerful Japanese whiskey has won numerous awards at home and abroad, and is now recognized around the world. Suntory Yamazaki Distillery is Japan's first malt whiskey distillery. In 1923, the history of Japanese whiskey began here by Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory Holdings. Yamazaki has been famous as a place for its famous water for a long time, so long ago that the master tea master Sen no Rikyu established a tea room there.The unique topography of the confluence of three rivers, the Uji, Kizugawa, and Katsura rivers, creates a moderately humid climate. This high-quality water and humid environment are said to be a utopia for whisky-making.
The unique feature of whiskey production at the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery is the ability to create a wide variety of whiskeys that are unparalleled anywhere else in the world. For example, we use wooden barrel fermenters and stainless steel fermenters in the fermentation process, different sizes and shapes of stills in the distillation process, and different types of barrels in the storage (aging) process. A variety of different types of unblended sake are created in all processes up to (aging).
