The bottle is from a very limited edition of just fifty pieces produced in

pursued as the extreme synthesis of every form, the rejection of
all ornamentation or ostentation that might weigh down expres-
sion. Rikyu developed this hybrid concept, which after him was
to become the fulcrum of the entire Zen aesthetic.
Yamazaki is the place where the Uji and Kizu Rivers con-
verge, with a foggy climate, high humidity, and some of the
freshest water in Japan. The region’s diversity in terms of tem-
perature and humidity levels creates the ideal conditions for the
aging of whisky in casks, known as the signature “Suntory Matu-
ration.”The remarkable sale of the bottle of Yamazaki 50 reflects
this subtle enchantment, based on Japanese care, dedication,
and discipline, where the highest standards lead to unbeatable
products and a constantly rising market that puts Japanese whis-
ky, and luxury whisky in general, at the top of today’s rankings.
Given the growing demand for Japanese luxury whiskies,
prices that would have seemed absurd and out of proportion a
few years ago now represent smart investments in a rapidly ex-
panding market.
