The Yamazaki 12 Jahre 100th Anniversary 0,7l, alc. 43 Vol.-%

The Yamazaki Distillery was founded in 1932 by Masetaka Taketsuru at the foot of Mount Tenno between Osaka and Kyoto. Production began the following year. The distillery was owned by Shinijiro Torri's Kotobukiya Company, which was renamed Suntory before production began. It was not until 1984 that the distillery's first single malt, the Yamazaki 12 year old, was launched on the market.
