This page focuses on “The History of Yamazaki Distillery: Distillery Identity, Expression Names and Bottling Records”. It builds a timeline from official or authoritative sources while keeping historical context separate from verification of an individual version.

Clarify the names and timeline first

Yamazaki Distillery, Yamazaki single malt whisky expressions and their various age statements are three distinct levels; do not collapse them into the single term “Yamazaki”.

  1. 1. The official Suntory timeline states that construction of Yamazaki Distillery began in 1923.
  2. 2. The official timeline dates the launch of Yamazaki single malt whisky to 1984; the distillery’s founding year and the expression’s launch year are not interchangeable.
  3. 3. An item record must still verify the official expression, age statement or batch, volume, ABV, front and back labels, bottle base, closure and provenance.

How historical sources apply to contemporary versions

For “The History of Yamazaki Distillery: Distillery Identity, Expression Names and Bottling Records”, history can explain the relationship between the distillery, brand and bottler. An item record must still keep distillation and bottling information, expression, volume, ABV, version, provenance and storage condition in separate fields.

Frequently asked questions
