Once a last resort, now a hallmark of Yamazaki. Mizunara casks began as an experiment born from necessity in the mid-20th century. When importing oak barrels proved difficult, Suntory turned to Japanese oak—a wood prized for furniture but challenging for whisky. With time, patience, and mastery, our artisans unlocked its potential. Today, Mizunara defines our most prized whiskies—rare, complex, and deeply tied to Japanese craftsmanship.
