It was first launched in Japan, where bottles were allocated by lottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYamazaki, founded by Suntory in 1923 on the outskirts of Kyoto, is Japan's first malt whisky distillery, and its limited editions are among the most sought-after releases in Japanese whisky. Each year's Limited Edition highlights a different aspect of the distillery's craft, and the 2022 release continues the series' focus on the artistry of Japanese wood and long maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe release is presented in a wooden-effect box illustrated with Yamazaki's pot stills, and as a limited annual release it has become a sought-after collectable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYamazaki single malts are known for their balance of rich fruit, gentle spice and the incense-like character of Japanese oak, and this edition offers a chance to taste a single year in the distillery's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a superb gift for a collector of Japanese whisky, and a bottle to open on a special occasion. Like all of Yamazaki's limited editions, it is released once and not repeated, so each year's bottle becomes a small piece of the distillery's story. Japanese whisky is often enjoyed with a little chilled water, a style called mizuwari, which gently opens the aromas without masking the spirit. A tulip-shaped glass will help concentrate its fruit and wood notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suntory, Yamazaki Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Single Malt Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited Edition 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamazaki, Osaka, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat, or with a splash of chilled water.
