Yamazaki 12 Year Old New Edition: The Current Release in the Centennial Series

The Yamazaki 12 Year Old new edition refers to the current version released after the 2010s. Compared to the old edition, the main differences are in the label design (black background with gold hot stamping), outer box material (purple box with satin lining), and seal (standard plastic top). Although the new edition is still in production, shipments have significantly decreased since 2018, and secondary market prices have risen accordingly.

Yamazaki Brand and Market Background

The Yamazaki Distillery features six pairs of copper pot stills of various shapes, ranging from straight necks to spherical ones. This is extremely rare for a single distillery and allows for a diverse range of whisky styles.

Since the Yamazaki 12 Year Old first won a gold medal at the ISC in 2003, international market demand for the Yamazaki series has continued to climb. In 2014, the Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask was named "World's Best Whisky" by Jim Murray, further boosting its price and attention.

Single Cask bottling means that each bottle of whisky comes from the same oak cask. The bottle usually indicates the cask number, distillation year, bottling year, and quantity produced. The scarcity of single casks lies in the fact that once a cask is sold out, the identical liquid no longer exists.
