YAMAZAKI, JAPAN

We visited the Yamazaki Distillery in hopes for a tour but we were unfortunately too late. We were able to visit the museum though and they had a tasting area. It’s a pay per tasting glass of the whisky of your choice. I chose to taste three of the most expensive whiskies they have. The 25 year old aged Yamazaki Single Malt, the 25 year old aged Hakushu Single Malt and the 30 year old aged Hibiki Suntory Whisky. I’ll never be able to afford them so it was the chance to taste them. I think two out of the three are out of stock but don’t quote me on that. And talking about not getting what you want, you can not buy whiskey at the Distillery. What?! Yep, they don’t even sell their own products here. A little disappointing, to tell you the truth. Apart from that, it’s well worth the visit and the tasting.
