Process & Profile

The Yamato Special Edition Cask Strength Japanese Whiskey is meticulously crafted using a blend of whiskies aged between 3 to 8 years. The production process employs traditional Japanese whisky-making techniques, including mashing, fermentation, double pot still distillation, and maturation. Yamato prioritizes the use of high-quality ingredients such as malted barley and pure water from Japan, ensuring a refined and authentic spirit. The whisky is matured in Mizunara oak casks, which imparts a signature complexity and depth of flavor. Unlike many whiskies, Yamato Special Edition is non-chill filtered, preserving the whisky's natural flavors and textures while maintaining an ABV of 49%.
