It’s a short train ride out of downtown Kyoto, so if you are staying for a few days in the area, absolutely. Kyoto is worth the trip regardless of whether you hit Yamazaki.

As for the distillery experience it’s pretty similar to most distillery tours. Large tasting room, the gift shop, the stills and the barrels, all fairly consistent with what you’d see at any sizable scotch distillers. If you’ve done distillery tours before, it will all seem quite familiar.

A nice perk is that you can pay for tastings of stuff that’s impossible to buy bottles of - like the 18 as well as high profile stuff from other distilleries around the world to compare against.

Thanks, this is what I expected. I’m wondering if the tasting room will have anything out of the ordinary- I already have the 18. I wouldn’t mind paying for some 25 sherry cask…heh
