A rare event showcasing Japanese whisky

A celebration of Yamazaki and the House of Suntory

Discover the Spirit of Yamazaki with Raffaele Di Monaco with an extremely unique tasting at Melody Bar, the intimate Japanese-inspired cocktail bar nestled beneath 10 Berners Street. Known for its low-lit atmosphere, considered drinks list and attention to detail, Melody Bar provides a fitting backdrop for a night centred on precision, craft and rare whisky.

The Yamazaki Mizunara 18 and 25 Year Old sit at the heart of this special celebration at Melody Bar, marking a rare moment to experience two of the most sought-after Japanese whiskies in the world. It is a rare chance to encounter these whiskies in an environment that honours both the spirit and the craft behind it.

Alongside the hero releases, we're showcasing the wider House of Suntory collection. Yamazaki favourites appear with the Distiller’s Reserve, 12 and 18 Year Old, plus the full Toki range. Hakushu brings its forest-shaped character with editions spanning the core 12 Year Old to the 100th Anniversary bottlings and limited Tsukuriwake releases. Hibiki adds harmony with the flagship Harmony blend, the elegant 21 Year Old and the revered 30 Year Old. The lineup is completed by Chita grain whisky and the craft spirits of Haku vodka and Roku gin.

Mizunara magic, properly aged

Mizunara is a rare Japanese oak that’s a nightmare to work with and a dream to drink from.

These are collector-grade, flavour-first drams with proper age statements and serious presence.

Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara

This is a richly layered single malt aged entirely in Japan’s most elusive cask type. The 18 Year Old Mizunara oak expression of Yamazaki is all sandalwood, coconut, incense, and spice wrapped in creamy oak and gentle fruit. It’s elegant, complex, and completely Yamazaki.

Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara

This is the top shelf. The one you talk about for years after trying it. Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara has spent a quarter of a century mellowing in casks made from Japan’s tight-grained, water-rich oak. Expect black cherry, polished wood, spice boxes, and incense drifting from glass to memory. Japan’s finest.
