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

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.
Raisin, sun-dried tomato, clove, cocoa.
Deep, rich, sweet and sour, chocolate with hazelnuts.
Long, bittersweet, sour.
Deep richness, mellowness and complexity of flavours.
I agree, the lottery system is very fair considering the limited amount of bottles produced, and the number of people that want them. But I do not agree with the auction, as previously stated, it will only help the ones with deep pockets.......
I agree that the lottery system is the fairest way, but certainly not the auction! Firstly, like a lot of people, I give to charity already, and secondly it just means those with the most money will get the bottles. I'm positive that's not what Yamazaki would have wanted or envisioned for this whisky.
Fair play to you. This is a great way of allocating bottles.
