Yamazaki 12

Yamazaki 12 Year

Yamazaki 12 Year

Yamazaki is Japan’s first and oldest distillery and has been producing whisky for nearly a century. Situated just outside Kyoto and owned by Suntory, the Yamazaki 12 was inspired by scotch but only goes so far with that inspiration before setting out on its own distinctive path. The whisky is very much a product of its locality, infused with unique character. They don’t mess around, in other words. This particular offering has been the recipient of many international whisky tasting awards. It was highly praised at our tasting.

World Whisky Day 2014

World Whisky Day 2014

Because some drinks deserve their own holiday. World Whisky Day was founded in 2012 by Blair Bowman, a Scottish graduate student at the University of Aberdeen and whisky enthusiast. It blew up the internet and the inaugural year had over 200 events in every continent on Earth except Antarctica by over 20,000 people. So we here at Scotchology are holding our own celebratory event: a whiskey tasting! So what are you doing?
