The Yamazaki Spanish Oak 2020 Edition is a highly anticipated release in the Yamazaki Cask Series, a collection that showcases the individual elements that make Yamazaki whisky unique. This 2020 edition is a Japanese single malt that has been matured in specially-selected Spanish oak casks, known for their higher natural tannin content which imparts richer flavors compared to American oak casks. Distilled and bottled by the renowned Yamazaki Distillery in Japan, this expression is a testament to the philosophy of Tsukuriwake, a concept celebrating the artisanship and diversity inherent in Yamazaki whisky.
The Yamazaki Spanish Oak 2020 Edition offers a complex and rich palate with notes of dried fruits, sundried tomatoes, buttery pastries, and a subtle acidity that lingers in the finish. Although it might not be as robust and complex as some previous releases, such as the 2016 Yamazaki, it remains well put together and highly drinkable. The nose is filled with winey, rich milk chocolate, peppery spice, a hint of eucalyptus, and sour raspberry liqueur, with a touch of cinnamon. The taste is very oily and creamy, with flavors reminiscent of cherry soda syrup and cream, underpinned by a cinnamon spice. The finish is full-bodied with a creamy soda syrup dominance, complemented by a licorice undertone and warming spice, ending with a drying sensation. This limited-edition release offers a unique opportunity to experience the rich and complex flavor profile that results from maturation in Spanish oak casks. Don't miss your chance to try this exceptional release and savor the individual elements that make Yamazaki whisky truly special.
