Here we have Suntory’s multi award-winning Japanese single malt from Yamazaki, the oldest whisky distillery in Japan. The single malt was launched in 1992, and around 80% of the liquid is matured in sherry butts, while the remaining whisky spent its years in American and Mizunara oak casks. An absolutely stunning marriage of fruit, oak and smoky notes, it’s really no wonder why it won so many awards!
Truffles, thick bitter marmalade and resin. Potpourri and heavy Oloroso sherry.
A rich, bittersweet palate with heather roots, cigar leaves, honey, toffee apples, plum wine and black pepper. A touch of rancio, perhaps…
Long, fruity, marmalade-led finish.
Had a little shot worth of this stuff and it was amazing. Smooth as silk.
solid body.. extremely long finish.. must add some water to wake it some then gets so much more flavoraful beyond your expectation .. $349
Friend defended for it and nownirs a question of pride. Want it at any cost
Tried it in a local restaurant here in my hometown Jönköping. Weird they had THIS dram 3,5 cl for 135 SEK. Worth every penny oak meets fruit sublime.
The very best that I've tried. Def. will be on the look out for it.
