FANS OF JAPANESE WHISKY had better move fast. Suntory Whisky has just launched the Yamazaki Mizunara 2017 Edition in Singapore. There is no word on how many bottles there are in Singapore, but there are only 5,000 bottles available worldwide.
For the uninitiated, Mizunara is a Japanese oak, found only in a few regions within Japan. According to Suntory's fourth chief blender, Shinji Fukuyo, Mizunara has been used as a whisky cask since the 1930s and 1940s.
In the early 1940s, Suntory's blenders began small experiments with Mizunara.But it wasn't until the end of WWII, when it became difficult to import wood, that the company focused on mastering the homegrown Mizunara cask.
