Discontinued 10 year old single malt from the Yamazaki distillery, aged in bourbon barrels. A lovely fruity dram, quite floral.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
The nose is fruity and rich. Plenty of barley malt and caramel, cereal sweetness and winter spice. Vanilla cream and mixed peels with a hint of nuts.
The palate is of medium-body with notes of rich peels and winter spice, aniseed and a herbal note. A bitter oak develops.
The finish is dry and of good length with acacia honey.
Nice one
Great dram. Buy this before it runs out! Soon to be discontinued! But the 12 year old is even better though... or the 18!
Got a little bit of spice to it, it's smooth too. Would I buy another bottle? Yes. Next purchase Yamazaki 18yrs as it's won awards
First ever bottle of Japanese I've ever bought, looking forward to it
Favourite of mine. Rich honey sweetness with clear malt taste. The word "smooth" is enough to describe.
