This photo taken on June 19, 2023 shows a glass of Yamazaki whisky, produced by Japanese beverage giant Suntory, sitting on the counter at the Tokyo Whisky Library bar at Minami Aoyama in Tokyo. Japan's Yamazaki distillery marks its 100th anniversary this year with plenty to celebrate, as the country's acclaimed aged whiskys command increasingly eye-watering prices thanks to growing demand and longstanding shortages.
