Yamazaki 55 Year Old

Yamazaki 55 is a blend of precious single malts featuring components distilled in 1960 under the supervision of Suntorys founder Shinjiro Torii and then aged in Mizunara casks; and in 1964 under Suntorys Second Master Blender Keizo Saji and then aged in White Oak casks. Suntorys Fifth-Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo worked closely with Third-Generation Master Blender Shingo Torii in deploying their signature art of blending to properly reveal the exceptional depth, complexity and wisdom that is Yamazaki 55. The resulting expression features a deep amber color; robust aroma redolent of sandal wood and well-ripened fruit; sweet, slightly bitter and woody palate; and slightly bitter yet sweet and rich finish.
