Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky (Old Bottling) 12 Year Old
Out of stock
Yamazaki 12 in it's original Yellow/Beige livery. This bottle and packaging design was updated to the new Black box look by the House of Suntory in early 2018.
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
Radiant amber-gold with honeyed warmth and a sunlit glow.
Nose
Peach, pineapple and grapefruit perfume the nose, brightened by candied orange and a kiss of clove. Vanilla spice mingles with the exotic warmth of Mizunara Japanese oak, while a delicate, fragrant oak carries a refined sweetness that hints at the distillery’s elegant style.
Palate
Silky coconut and candied sweetness mingle with tart cranberry, edged by a gentle butteriness. A whisper of vanilla spice and fragrant oak threads through the mid-palate, adding warmth and elegance before a long, lightly spiced finish.
Finish
Sweet ginger and cinnamon linger, delivering a long, warming finish with a gentle spice and graceful warmth.
