Suntory’s flagship distillery, Yamazaki was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. The town of Yamazaki was chosen to be the site of Japan’s first commercial distillery due to its very ‘Scottish’ climate, and with it being an area where three rivers converge. In its early days, Yamazaki produced both malt and grain for Suntory's blends, but the opening of the Chita distillery in 1972 allowed the company to focus on its single malt brand. It is now one of the world's most desirable. The first spirit ran from the stills in 1924, on 11th November at 11:11am.
The set includes four bottles of Yamazaki from four different cask types, which are part of the Tsukuriwake" selection:
- Peated Malt 48% 70cl

The bottles are presented in a branded wooden case which was a limited edition for the Spanish Market.
