About

The second annual release from Yuza Distillery in Yamagata Prefecture, one of Japan's most anticipated new distilleries. Building on the acclaimed First Edition with additional maturity and complexity. Limited production reflects the boutique scale of this craft operation on the coast of the Sea of Japan.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh tropical fruit, melon, and vanilla with delicate floral notes. More mature and composed than the First Edition.

Palate

Smooth and rounded with tropical fruit, malt sweetness, gentle oak, and a developing complexity. Light spice and a creamy texture.

Finish

Medium to long with clean fruit, vanilla, and a gentle oak fade.

What People Are Saying

The Yuza annual editions generate serious hype. The Second Edition shows clear progression from the First Edition with more depth and complexity. Lottery only in Japan, which drives secondary market demand. One of the most watched new distilleries in the world.

Well received with scores reflecting the young but promising spirit. Reviewers note the tropical fruit character as a signature Yuza trait that carries through editions.
