Yamazaki Distillery 2001 Single Cask Original Whisky: Standard Single Cask Record for a 200-Liter Hogshead Cask

The Yamazaki Distillery 2001 Single Cask Genshu (Cask Strength) is a limited release single cask version sold exclusively by the distillery. It is undiluted (alcohol content typically 50–60% ABV). 2001 is a relatively recent vintage for Yamazaki Distillery, during a period when single malt was expanding globally.

Yamazaki Brand and Market Background

Yamazaki is Japan's first malt whisky distillery, founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. It is located at the foot of Mount Tenno, on the outskirts of Kyoto, an area known for its pristine water and moderate humidity.

Since Yamazaki 12 Year Old first won a gold medal at the ISC in 2003, international demand for the Yamazaki series has continuously increased. In 2014, 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 every bottle of liquid comes from the same oak cask. The bottle usually indicates the cask number, distillation year, bottling year, and number of bottles produced. The scarcity of single casks lies in the fact that once the cask is sold out, the identical liquid will no longer exist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What's the difference between a Hogshead and other cask sizes?

A: A Hogshead, approximately 200L, is a standard cask capacity for malt whisky. Compared to a 500L Puncheon cask, it results in faster maturation and a more pronounced wood influence.

Q: Does a 2001 vintage bottled in 2024 mean it's 23 years old?

A: Theoretically, yes, but the actual stated age depends on the official label – some batches are labeled 23 Year Old, while others are labeled with the original casking year.
