Yamazaki 55 Years Old has a House of Suntory product page. Any older bottle claimed as “50 Years” needs its own bottle, packaging, documents and contemporary sources. Keep the two claims separate: evidence for 55 Years Old cannot establish a 50-year bottle.

Y50: build the record only from the bottle and contemporary evidence
- Photograph the formal name, 50-year wording, volume, ABV, bottle number, front and back labels, bottle base, wooden box and certificate.
- If no matching Suntory product information or contemporary archive can be found, leave the release, bottle count, specifications and packaging pending verification.
- Keep Y50 and Y55 in separate records. Do not transfer Y55’s 1960 and 1964 component-whisky details to Y50.
- A similar wooden box or high-age wording does not establish the same expression.
Frequently asked questions about Yamazaki 55 Years Old and a claimed 50 Years Old bottle
Can the official 55 Years Old page establish a 50-year bottle?
No. Each claimed expression requires its own direct source and physical evidence.
What if no direct source can be found for the 50-year claim?
Retain the bottle wording, photographs and accessories. Mark the release and specifications as pending rather than entering assumptions.
Can the bottles be compared from box shape alone?
No. First align the formal name, volume, ABV, bottle number, labels, box, certificate and provenance. Box style is only one field.
