More questions
The Whisky Third Edition by Yuza represents an elegant expression of Japanese distilling art, characterized by a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Produced with selected ingredients and crafted with great care, this whisky stands out for its refined aromatic complexity, the result of an aging process that favors high-quality barrels, often influenced by Japanese production expertise.
In the glass, it presents a bright golden color, accompanied by intense aromas of malt, vanilla, and delicate hints of dried fruit and oriental spices, evoking the delicate balances of a distant yet nature-respecting land. The palate welcomes soft and enveloping notes, where sweetness blends with a light smoky touch and an elegant persistence, guiding the taster on a unique and refined sensory journey.
Perfect as a whisky for meditation, the Third Edition expresses itself best on its own or with a few drops of water to further release its nuances; it also pairs well with delicate Japanese dishes or aged cheeses, gracefully highlighting the complexity of this exclusive distillate.

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.
