Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky 12 Year Old
In stock
Matured in a combination of Japanese Oak, Ex-Bourbon and Sherry Oak casks to produce a sweet and delicate single malt oozing with peach, pineapple and grapefruit with subtle vanilla spice and fragrant oak.
The first Japanese single malt to be introduced to the UK back in 1984 and now part of the award winning Suntory range of Whiskies and from the oldest whisky distillery in Japan established way back in 1923.
Very much a Speyside style single malt but with a more aromatic and spicy edge from the use of the Mizunara Japanese oak which is indigenous to Japan, a country that seems to riding the wave of popularity at the moment in the whisky world.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with honeyed warmth and a sun-kissed glow; a subtle copper shimmer hints at oak and sherry maturation.
Nose
Delicate, fragrant nose of peach, pineapple and grapefruit, lifted by candied orange and vanilla spice. A touch of clove and the unmistakable Mizunara oak weave in, imparting a refined, sweetly spicy oak character.
Palate
On the palate, coconut delivers creamy sweetness, cranberry brings bright tartness, and butter softens into luxurious smoothness. Subtle vanilla spice and a whisper of oak weave through, leaving a mellow, lingering finish.
Finish
Sweet ginger and cinnamon linger in a warm, spice-kissed finish that stretches into a long, elegant fade.
