What's in a name? Yamazaki 12 Year Old whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Japan. Were it from America it would be spelled Yamazaki 12 Year Old whiskey, rather than whisky.

Yamazaki 12 Tasting Note

The nose is of good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with a little tropical fruit and a rooty note. The palate is smooth and soft with good sweetness and winter spice. A lovely citrus note develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum. The finish is medium with fruit and zest.
