Yamazaki Bourbon Barrel 2011 Edition Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glints and a warm, sunlit gold edge.

Nose

Vanilla-forward and creamy toffee dominate, lifted by honeyed sweetness and bright citrus zest. Coconut and almond echo the bourbon cask, while white peach and pear mingle with subtle oak. A whisper of spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—adds warmth and a refined, lingering aroma.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate delivers vanilla-forward sweetness and caramel, layered with toasted oak. Notes of coconut and dried fruit drift in, balanced by subtle spice and a whisper of citrus zest. Warm, lingering finish with creamy sweetness and a refined oak tannin from the Bourbon-barrel maturation.

Finish

Long, velvety finish of vanilla and caramel, with creamy toffee notes. Orchard fruits—pear and white peach—linger beside gentle oak spice, then fade to a warm, toasted-bourbon signature. A delicate cocoa echo rounds out the aftertaste, leaving a refined, softly drying finish.
