Description
From Yuza Distillery in coastal Yamagata, this single malt was distilled in 2019 and bottled in 2022 at three years old, released only for the Japanese domestic market. Yuza, founded in 2018 and operated by Kinryu, has built a reputation for precise, small-batch production, and this early release captures the fresh character of the distillery's young spirit.
Matured in Ex-Bourbon casks, the three years of ageing brings citrus zest, cooked fruit and a fragrant, honeyed sweetness to the fore, with new wood adding structure and a light spice at the finish. At 62% cask strength it delivers the full texture of the Yamagata coastal air and the bourbon barrel's contribution, an honest and lively portrait of Yuza in its earliest vintages.
