Yamazaki 18yo Single Malt Whisky Sherry Bourbon Mizunara Casks 43% 700ml information

The Yamazaki 18yo Single Malt Whisky is a prime example of the exceptional quality that Japanese whisky has to offer. This rich and complex whisky is produced by Suntory, Japan's first commercial whisky distillery, which was established in 1923 in the vale of Yamazaki at Tennozan Mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto. The whisky matures for 18 years in a combination of sherry, American oak, and Mizunara (Japanese oak) casks, resulting in a deep amber color and a rich flavor profile.

On the nose, the Yamazaki 18yo has notes of raisin, apricot, cafe au lait, and Mizunara, along with hints of dried herbs and a touch of sulfur. The palate offers flavors of blackberry, strawberry jam, and dark chocolate, followed by a long, spicy, and smooth finish of dried fruit and noble wood. This whisky is known for its full spice and berried oak flavors, making it a highly satisfying and enjoyable sipping experience.

The Yamazaki 18yo has won numerous awards, including a Gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge and the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco. With its unique combination of Japanese tradition and innovation, the Yamazaki 18yo is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast. The distillery, Suntory, has masterfully crafted this whisky, presenting a harmonious balance of flavors that stand out in the world of single malts.
