    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 outstanding. Far too expensive.

    Had a bottle of this a few years ago at a much more reasonable price and thought it was good. Now, I've been lucky enough to have been given another and thought I'd review it... If it cost the same as some standard issue Scottish 10-14 year old whiskies then I would say it's decent offering but for me it's no way near as good as the much more subtle yet elegantly satisfying Hakushu Distiller's Reserve. Good appealing nose, nice unimposing, sightly sweet flavour but slightly too much burn and nothing particularly interesting coming through. To me, it's overpriced fairly decent generic whisky.

    Yamazaki 12yr

    Excellent and smooth whiskey. Definitely one of my favorites. Wish one day I'll get a chance to try the 18yr & the sherry cask!!
