The Birthplace of Japanese Whisky

The Yamazaki Distillery, Japan's first malt whisky distillery, was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory. It's considered the birthplace of Japanese whisky, chosen for its excellent water source and natural surroundings reminiscent of Scottish whisky-making tradition.
