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.
Good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with a little tropical fruit and a rooty note.
Smooth and soft with good sweetness and winter spice. A lovely citrus note develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum.
Medium with fruit and zest.

tried this today on one bar. Very good End up buying for my friends as well. Nice smell and taste Loved it
I am just enjoying a first sip of this and think it is pretty good. I would say that I enjoy an 18 Glenfiddich, or even The Glenlivet 12...even a Macallan for the price. Will definitely try more Japanese Whisky, but I wouldn't say I am going to get another bottle of this stuff again. It's good, but it leaves me wanting more after each sip.
Tried this one a couple of years ago and just didn't "get it". Nice whisky for sure, but tasted like a fairly standard/light Highland malt. Nothing for peat-heads obviously, but very understated generally. A good honest malt but not in a hurry to buy one even when it cost £35.
This is absolutely World class! It just couldent be better. Try it and enjoy Japanese perfection. If I were a Scot I´ll be worried....
Very good
