Let’s talk about Whisky First Edition 70cl - Yuza

More questions

The Whisky First Edition of Yuza is a refined distillate that expresses a unique interpretation of the Scottish tradition, enriched with oriental nuances. Produced with a careful selection of cereals, this single malt stands out for its elegant and complex character, the result of a careful maturation in oak barrels. The production area, while inspired by classic techniques, incorporates elements that give a fresh and enveloping aromatic profile.

On the nose, delicate notes of vanilla, honey, and dried fruit emerge, with a slight hint of aromatic herbs that bring depth and harmony. On the palate, it reveals itself to be soft and round, with hints of sweet spices and a long, persistent finish, where the sweetness balanced by aging in oak combines with a pleasant freshness. This whisky is ideal for those seeking a refined sensory experience, capable of combining tradition and innovation in a perfect balance.

Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water, it pairs splendidly with dishes based on white meats, aged cheeses, and dried fruit desserts. A sip of Yuza First Edition is a journey between East and West in a refined bottle.

The story
The Yuza project was launched within Kinryu Co., Ltd. (a local company operating in the spirits sector) with the aim of producing Japanese whisky in an area rich in spring water near Mount Chokai. The distillery obtained its license and started production in 2018; the first commercial bottlings (First Edition) were released in 2022. Since then production has remained small-scale, with releases as numbered editions and small batches.
Distillation
Distillation using pot stills (small-scale single malt production with dedicated wash and spirit stills).
Ageing
Maturation in ex-bourbon and sherry casks; occasional use of mizunara casks for finishes/special editions.
