THE DISTILLERY

The Yamazaki distillery was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, a merchant who began his career selling Spanish wines.

It is the first and oldest distillery in Japan. It is located in Kyoto, in an area believed to be the source of the purest water in Japan. There are three rivers that converge at the distillery, providing some of the softest water in the country, an element Shinji believes is key to the style of his whiskeys.
