The Yamazaki distillery opted for a unique maturation approach with their 2013 release, selecting Puncheon casks over the standard hogshead variety. Unlike the conventional 230-liter hogshead, the Puncheon boasts an impressive capacity of 480 liters. This larger size offers a distinct advantage, as it slows down the maturation process, allowing the whisky to gracefully absorb the nuances of the cask’s flavor.

As a result, the 2013 Yamazaki Puncheon release presents a whisky that has been delicately influenced by its extended time in the Puncheon. This methodical approach to maturation has contributed to the development of a rich and nuanced single malt Japanese whisky that showcases the mastery of the Yamazaki distillery.
