Honouring the Supreme Champions of Yamazaki

Nestled where three rivers meet on the outskirts of Kyoto, the distillery has long been recognised on a global scale. Particularly when it comes to awards.
The Yamazaki 12 Year Old, 18 Year Old and 25 Year Old have each been awarded the title of Supreme Champion Spirit at the International Spirits Challenge across three consecutive years. It is a clean sweep that confirms what collectors and drinkers already knew.

The included dram of the 25 Year Old offers a rare glimpse into long maturation and the profound depth that defines this legendary expression.
