Yamazakura distillery itself was closed\/merged in 1998. You might be thinking ''Hey! how come it is only a 15 year old?'' That is because some of the whisky was stored in alternative containers for a while before getting finished in fresh bourbon and wine casks. But still some of the malt in this bottle is up to 20 years old.
