Yamazaki, Japan

So from Kobe we were heading back to Kyoto for two days. Along the way though, well, we had to stop by the Yamazaki Distillery. I would’ve liked to have done one of the tours but we got there too late in the afternoon. The museum and the tasting was still possible, though.

The museum is amazing and very interesting. You can learn so much just walking through it. Once you’ve gone through the museum, you come to the tasting bar. It’s a-la-carte so you choose the whiskies you want to taste-test. Just marvellous. A great idea except for the fact that you can not buy a bottle of whisky afterwards. They don’t even sell their own whiskies. Very disappointing.

Anyway, if you’d like to know what I tasted, check out my short blog post I published earlier. What a tasting. Yamazaki Distillery, well worth the visit if you’re a whisky lover or connoisseur. Next time I’ll do a tour.
