Yamazaki single malt whisky aged approximately 10 years in 480 litre American oak Puncheons stored in warehouses in the mist-shrouded Yamazaki region. These stout casks mature the whisky slowly due to a relatively small surface area being in contact with the whisky. Bottled without chill filtration.
