Celebration is in order in the House of Suntory as the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries commemorate their respective centenary and golden jubilee ahead in 1923 when he established the Yamazaki distillery, bestowing upon Japan its very first whisky sanctuary.
The legendary establishment steeped in heritage and craft, affectionately became the cradle where Japanese whisky first awakened to the world, forever etching its name in the annals of spirits history. With a profound reverence for his father's indelible legacy, Keizo Saji boldly seized the reins after Shinjiro passed.
As the echoes of Yamazaki's founding resonated for half a century, Keizo forged a new chapter by establishing the Hakushu distillery in 1973.
Guided by the wisdom passed down through generations, The House of Suntory is releasing a duo of limited edition expressions - namely the Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara and Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt - where the very essence of heritage is distilled into every precious drop.
