Yamazaki was Japan's first malt whisky distillery, opened in 1923, and it is still the country's reference point. Distiller's Reserve is the house calling card - a no-age-statement vatting that draws on malts matured in American oak, Spanish sherry oak, and Japanese Mizunara, plus a component aged in Bordeaux wine casks that pushes the whole thing toward red fruit. That combination is what makes it read as unmistakably Japanese: soft and fruity up front, then a drift of incense and sandalwood from the Mizunara. Drink it neat, add a drop of water, or do what they do at home and build it into a highball. It is a genuinely good place to start with Japanese malt.
