Yuza Distillery Second Edition Cask Strength Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml (2022 Release)

The Yuza Distillery Second Edition Cask Strength Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2022 is a remarkable expression of dedication, craft, and time. This whisky is composed of select single malts from Yuza Distillery’s inaugural distillation season, from February to July 2019, and offers a complex and refined profile with a smooth, creamy texture, light peat influences, and a robust fruity character. Bottled at 62% ABV, this cask strength release offers layers of flavor that reflect the region’s unique terroir and the distillery's commitment to quality.

Hailing from Yamagata Prefecture, Japan’s first whisky-producing region, Yuza Distillery is set to become a star in the whisky world. Using the pristine, soft water sourced from the snowmelt of nearby Mount Chōkai, this limited-edition whisky combines traditional distillation methods with innovative techniques to create a spirit of exceptional character. The Second Edition is a more complex, deeper release than the First Edition, with the whisky’s maturation in Sherry casks providing additional richness and depth.

This 2022 release highlights the distillery’s growing expertise, combining rich orchard fruit, delicate peat, and a rounded finish, making it a compelling choice for whisky enthusiasts. A true Japanese whisky, it embodies the dedication and precision that is Yuza’s hallmark.
