The Yamazaki limited edition 2017 is now available for pre-order on dekanta for worldwide delivery at $279.99 per bottle.

Shoppers who pre-order the limited edition by 10 June 2017 will receive it by 30 June 2017, making them the first to sample this year’s edition of the increasingly popular annual limited edition series.

The 2017 edition is the latest of Yamazaki distillery’s annual limited edition single malts, a tradition that began in 2014. Each release is a premium single malt consisting of multiple Yamazaki vintages that have undergone maturation in different casks, before being blended for bottling.

The Yamazaki distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Japan, and is owned by the global drinks giant, Suntory. The Father of Japanese Whisky, Masataka Taketsuru, managed this distillery for its first 10 years of operation.
