Released in Spring 2014, this is one of two Distiller's Reserve single malt whiskies from Suntory in Japan. This single malt from the Yamazaki distillery is jam-packed with superb red berry notes, gained from the whisky being matured in Bordeaux wine casks and Sherry casks. It also features malt matured in Mizunara casks, adding subtle fragrant oak notes.
Classic Yamazaki strawberries and dried fruits with floral notes coming from the Mizunara cask whisky. Fragrant sandalwood and maybe coconut. Certainly a whisky where you could get lost in its nose!
The dried berries remain lively on the palate (it even develops some raspberry notes along the way), but they're dialled back a bit to make room for light oak, white peach and a small amount of spice.
Vanilla lasts and lasts, with spicy but sweet cinnamon acting as a final flourish.
Top quality Japanese whisky, and excellent value too. Can't go wrong with this, really.

Comes in a nice looking bottle is very fruity I could taste a hint of cherry bursting through aswell as the sharp whisky taste . It is very high percentage which is strong so recommend for a once a night evening drink
Beautiful bottle looks almost vintage in its design, the box is also a nice touch. A very nice whiskey which smells very floral with a hint of fruit. I got some fruity notes such as berries and peach with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. It was a little strong to drink neat over ice but with a dash of water it was very pleasant. We have also experimented this with mixers such as coke and lemonade, but it made a delicious old fashioned. Looking forward to trying other cocktails.
I do not have any experience with Japanese Whisky. The Yamazaki was first I even try and for sure not the last one. It tastes differently than regular and popular brands. I have tried it in many ways- neat, highball, on the rocks, with mineral water and as a cocktails. The best for me was as a cocktail and the worst- neat (was too strong for me). Drinking whisky is very subjective, so for someone else the neat version can be the best. The bottle looks really nice and simple, maybe too simple. In the end I can only say that it is worth to give it a chance, try and find the best way to enjoy.
