    Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016

    With the 2013 release having been named World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2015, this is a hugely anticipated release of Sherried Japanese whisky. Just 5,000 of these sought-after bottles will be available worldwide.

    This bottle was part of a private collection

    More detailed information and photographs of this item are available, please contact our Customer Service team.

    Our original allocation of this was split between a 3cl dram lottery [4 bottles' worth], a bottle lottery [1 bottle] and an auction (where everything over RRP went to charity) [1 bottle]. Why all the fuss? Read more on our blog.

    My God.

    There's not much to say. I've never tasted a whisky like this. To be honest, at first I was skeptical. The nose was familiar, the mouthfeel familiar. The taste familiar. But the finish. Oh. My. God. Not one single whisky I've experienced is even remotely Close to the complexity and longevity of the finish found in this gem. Raisin, chocolate, almond, all working their way from deep at the back of your tongue, and slowly to the front, with a never ending evolution of experience. I count at least 1-2 minutes of altering experiences! I've sadly never owned a bottle, and only experienced it as a single nip. But that nip was heavenly.

    Very much like Macallan 18

    I got a 3cl sample of this and just tried it. This is so much like Magellan 18 I couldn't believe it! The Yamazaki 18 is also sherried, but lighter sherry and slightly sweet compared to the Yamazaki Sherry Cask. The Macallan 18, in comparison, has a deeper sherry flavor, likely due to the fact that it is a true Speyside character to balance. The Sherry cask has a slightly more complex sherry nuance compared to Macallan 18, but they are so much alike it may be challenging to decipher the two in a blind taste test. I'm glad I had a chance to try it, as the novelty of being best whiskey that year in Murray's whiskey bible. It is the best example of a sherried whiskey........somewhere between Macallan 18 and Ardbeg Dark Cove (a more heavily sherried islay), more closer to the former than the latter.

    Patetic

    This is not whishy. This is a kitsch product for rich idiots. If we got to the point of having to pay 3000 pounds for drink a good whiskey, then it is better not to buy more anything. LiMiTeD eDiTiOn! Please... is just a commercial swindle. Because the suntory don't produce 50000 bottle at a reasonable price instead that only few bottle at shameful price? Even if I had all the money of the world, I do not buy it for 3500€.
