This Yamazaki was matured in large 480 litre American white oak puncheon casks, where the higher volume and smaller spirit-to-wood contact slow the interaction with oak compared with smaller barrels, resulting in a richer but still elegant maturation profile.
This expression highlights how different wood types and cask sizes can reshape a whisky’s texture and flavour, making it a notable, slightly less intense alternative to other Yamazaki releases finished in smaller casks.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with warm honey tones and a subtle copper glow.
Nose
Fresh vanilla and oak invite a core of ripe pear and apple, lightly kissed by citrus zest. The large puncheon’s mellow oak gives a velvety sweetness with hints of almond and spice, delivering a refined, elegant aroma that hints at the whisky’s richer maturation.
Palate
Silky, medium-full on the palate, it glides with vanilla and caramel wrapped in toasted oak. Ripe pear and apple mingle with honey and a touch of citrus zest. Gentle spice—cinnamon and white pepper—lifts the profile, while integrated wood tannins keep it elegant and refined. A long, balanced finish with a whisper of sweetness.
Finish
A long, refined finish where oak sweetness returns softly: vanilla and toffee weave with subtle dried-fruit and spice, tapering to a warm, silky fade that lingers with quiet elegance.
