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.
Mizunara smoky notes of incense, followed by a complex bouquet of mature kaki persimmon and ume plum notes.
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.
nd long finish with Mizunara smokiness and lingering subtly sweet wood notes that remain.

I was invited to a dinner with a small group of wine nerds. One of them brought a sealed bottle of Yamazaki 25 to finish off the meal. Needless to say, the 10 of us finished his Yamazaki 25. The aroma was so overpowering that one person from the adjacent room came over to ask what we had opened. The flavours were so intense, yet elegant, and the finish, though not the longest, was more than satisfying. I managed to locate a bottle within two weeks, which I have now hidden away, awaiting the right occasion and friends.
Nice
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.
The best a man can get..
Japan the best for ever
