Yamazaki
25 Year Old Whisky
Customer Rating
“Color: Dark amber, dominant raisin and spice in the nose. Oily, bold, powerful flavors that confirmed the raisin and spice, cinnamon, dry fruits (apricot, coconuts, pineapple, etc.), with a very long finish. Comparing side by side with the other two, this is not as complex and finish is not as long. 93 points. #1 was the Hakushu 25 and #2 was Macallan 25. Sorry.”

Description
This highly sought-after Yamazaki single malt was matured for a quarter of a century! A fantastically complex whisky, aged in the finest Spanish oak, American oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks. Yummers.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Mizunara smoky notes of incense, followed by a complex bouquet of mature kaki persimmon and ume plum notes.
Palate
A smoky first sip of Mizunara sandalwood notes that open and deepen into complex layers of kaki persimmon subtle sweetness, tart ume plum notes and gentle shoga ginger spicy notes.
Finish
A long finish with Mizunara smokiness and lingering subtly sweet wood notes that remain.
