Yamato is a brand of Japanese whisky created by Aiko Importers, a nationally recognized and acclaimed importer of spirits to the US market. Aiko represents a network of brands and over 127 partner companies located in 46 US states, with imports sourced from Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia. Yamato Japanese Whisky was developed by Aiko after the importer discovered a selection of whisky located at one of the largest distilleries in a prefecture of Japan, southwest of Tokyo. After acquiring these barrels, Aiko began to bottle small-batch offerings in distinctively crafted and highly collectible decanters, much to the favor of whisky enthusiasts and collectors. Yamato Whisky is composed of a blend of malted Scotch and distillates produced from select grains grown and harvested in the Yamanashi Prefecture, typically aged 3 - 8 years in rare Mizunara oak casks. Unique, rich, and wonderfully blended - Yamato Japanese Whisky is a taste of the wonders of Japan perfectly captured in carefully aged, sweetly-hued whisky.
