Between 2014 – 2017, the annual Yamazaki Limited Editions were some of the most sough after annual release from Japan.
These whiskies were limited in numbers and contained some of the best Yamazki liquid.
Once they realised there were shortages they took these released to the wayside, making room for other non-age statement whiskies such as Essence of Suntory Volumes 3 and 4 and the recent Yamazaki Cask Finish releases.
Back in 2021 and now again in 2022 we have again the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2022.
