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.

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
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.
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
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....
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!!!
