Yamazaki Single Malt 25 Years

Dieser meisterhafte Single Malt verfügt über ein komplexes Geschmacksprofil, das zu Beginn Aromen von Trockenfrüchten hervorhebt. Ein Hauch von herber und subtiler Süße schließt sich an, der von einem charakteristischen und edlen Sandelholzbouquet der Mizunara-Fässer umhüllt wird. Das Finish ist tief, langanhaltend und komplex. Wer die Gründe für den Boom um japanischen Whisky ergründen möchte, wird bei diesem Meisterwerk fündig.

Die Yamazaki Destillerie ist Japans erste und älteste Malt-Whisky-Brennerei. Eröffnet wurde diese 1923 von Shinjiro Torii, dem Gründer von Suntory. Vor 25 Jahren hat noch niemand mit der hohen Nachfrage der heutigen Zeit gerechnet. Entsprechend gering sind die vorhandenen Stückzahlen für diese Abfüllung.

Geschmack: Edles Sandelholzbouquet.

Suntory is one of the five largest spirits producers in the world and Japan's largest whisky producer with a market share of 70%. The company was founded in 1899 by Shinjiro Torii and is one of the oldest in the distribution of alcoholic beverages. Originally, Suntory was a brewery and distillery, but the business areas were constantly expanded. Today, Suntory produces almost everything, from coffee and soft drinks to fine wines, alcopops, beer, ice cream and flowers. The company is headquartered in Osaka. In April 2014, Suntory bought the spirits giant Beam Inc. for 13.6 billion dollars. Since then, the company has been represented in Germany as Beam Suntory. The Suntory Group includes brands such as Laphroaig, Maker's Mark, Canadian Club, Sauza Tequila and the German winery Robert Weil. However, Suntory became known beyond Japan for its excellent whiskies such as Yamazaki and Hibiki. The Yamazaki single malt was launched in 1984 and won the gold medal at the International Spirit Competition (ISC) in the UK for the first time in 2003 and has since been celebrated as the best-selling Japanese single malt. Suntory ISC has won the coveted "Distiller of the Year" award several times in a row. Nowadays, the company can hardly save itself from prizes for its great whiskies. Suntory also became famous through the film "Lost in Translation" by Sofia Coppola with Bill Murray in the leading role. This is where the famous quote "For relaxing times make it Suntory time!" came from, which Bill Murray had to recite in a commercial for Hibiki 17. Many claim that this is where the boom in Japanese whisky really began.
