    Single Malt

    Yamazaki 12 Year Old

    Yamazaki is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, from Japan's first and oldest malt distillery. This 12 year old first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky. Since then, it has acquired something of a cult following, and for good reason! A wonderfully elegant and smooth single malt that’s certainly not lacking in flavour.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with a little tropical fruit and a rooty note.

    Palate

    Smooth and soft with good sweetness and winter spice. A lovely citrus note develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum.

    Finish

    Medium with fruit and zest.

    Good, not great, for price

    Good, but not any better than the rest of the pack in the price range. There are in every good liquor store several scotches in the same price range, at least a couple of which will be better than the Yamazaki. That said, it is a good whisky, enjoyable to the nose and the palate. It lacks just a bit of fullness, however, necessary to move toward the front of the class.

    Excellent

    Excellent Enjoyed it a lot but it has become too expensive.

    Jose Dec 26, 2017

    Decent, but not for its price range

    Simply doesn’t have the depth and range of flavor as most Japanese whiskies in the 75-125 price range. If you’re looking to try something new and have had all the others, it’s probably worth giving it a shot. But if you’re considering other Japanese whiskeys around 100, almost anything on that list would likely be more dynamic.
