Yamazaki

Customer Rating
“I bought a bottle back in 2019 when it was at a price that I cold afford. Exquisite. I could sit for a whole evening with a single dram and just enjoy the smell between the sips. Warm vanilla and subtle spices. I should have bought a case. Still, there's always the MoM competitions and the National Lottery. Fingers crossed.”

Description
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Truffles, thick bitter marmalade and resin. Potpourri and heavy Oloroso sherry.
Palate
A rich, bittersweet palate with heather roots, cigar leaves, honey, toffee apples, plum wine and black pepper. A touch of rancio, perhaps…
Finish
Long, fruity, marmalade-led finish.
