    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.

    It's very rare & priced accordingly

    Was recently very fortunate to try a dram of this and there's no doubt it's a cohesive, well balanced, flavorsome expression, packed with depth and complexity...but... stand it up against a Gordon & MacPhail 25 - 30 year old sherry cask Strathisla at less than a sixth of the price and in my humble opinion there can only be one winner, and not only on cost either. Loving your work M of M guys, keep it up. Dave

    Just splendid

    Had a full 2oz pour for only $55. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to try it at my friends bar. Full long lasting rich flavor. Dark Amber in color. And at 48% you get all the powerful flavor with out intolerable mouth burn.

    Seek out American Release Version!!!

    Bet you guys didn't know the differences between the American release 2016 Sherry Cask and the Japanese release. I have both versions and here are the differences: Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 (American Release) -Larger Bottle (750ml) -No engravement on cap saying "Suntory Single Malt Whisky" -Added text including "Japanese Whisky" , "48% Alc/Vol (96 PROOF)" -White Panel on back of bottle as opposed to matching beige color on Japanese release -Slightly Bigger Box / States (Sherry Cask 2016 ) on top of box cap" Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 (Japanese Release) -Smaller Bottle (700ml) -No alcohol content display on bottle -Added Text "Produced by Suntory" , "Product of Japan" -Engraved Cap "Suntory Single Malt Whisky" -Smaller Box / only states (Sherry Cask) on top of box cap Obviously the differences aren't HUGE , but for the price you guys are paying... I want you all to know the exact details of what you are purchasing. The biggest being the bottle size :) Oh and as for the rating ... the whisky is absolutely incredible, probably one of the best drams/bottles you will ever experience !! Easiest 5 star review! Cheers guys! Johnny. B

    Amazing whiskey

    I agree with the last poster, I managed to try some of the 2016 and it was worth every penny. With only 5000 bottles, I wonder how crazy the price will get for a glass next year....

    This is a very nice Sherry Cask bottle!!!!

    I am very fortunate to obtained 2 bottles of this wonderful sherry juice. Very tasty indeed. Hope everyone have a chance to obtain a sample of this beautifully crafted juice. Good luck!!!
