Yuza - First Edition - 2022 - 61%
The Yuza Distillery is located in the sought-after region of Yamagata Prefecture, in the heart of Japan, world-renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship in artisanal whisky. The Kinryu Corporation, the parent company founded in 1950 by a consortium of nine renowned sake manufacturers, embodies excellence and innovation in the production of authentic Japanese spirits. After two intense years of meticulous research, the ideal location to craft an exceptional whisky was discovered. In 1996, the crystalline underground waters of Yuza were officially designated among the top 100 waters of Japan by the prestigious Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, highlighting the remarkable purity of this essential distillation resource.
The quality of an exceptional whisky depends on several key factors: cold and pure water, immaculate air, and a perfectly balanced humidity level. The unique geographical location at the imposing foot of Mount Chokai gives this distillery a perfect microclimate, ensuring optimal maturation and offering unparalleled aromatic depth, making each bottle a true gustatory treasure to discover.
This new First Edition released in 2022 proudly marks the launch of the very first whisky produced by this exceptional distillery, founded in 2018. This exceptional spirit captivates with its authentic character, rich aroma, and remarkable balance, symbols of traditional craftsmanship combined with passionate innovation.
