Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky 25 Year Old · 1996 Vintage
Out of stock
Yamazaki 25 Single Malt Whisky is blended from rare whiskies aged over a quarter of a century in the place Shinjiro Torii chose to begin the illustrious journey of Japanese Whisky. Fifth generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo has returned to the roots of what made Yamazaki Single Malt quintessentially Yamazaki: deep, complex and multi-layered.
Mizunara smoky notes of incense, followed by a complex bouquet of mature kaki persimmon and ume plum notes. A smoky first sip of Mizunara sandalwood notes that open and deepen into complex layers of kaki persimmon subtle sweetness, tart ume plum notes and gentle shoga ginger spicy notes. Profound long finish with Mizunara smokiness and lingering subtly sweet wood notes that remain.

Tasting Notes
Colour
A deep amber with copper-gold glow and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Rich, multi-layered nose of dried cherry and currant, with a savory note of tomato puree and balsamic, anchored by walnut. Subtle sweetness and walnut-wood depth hint at refined maturity.
Palate
Marmalade sweetness coats the palate, followed by deep coffee and cocoa notes, with a delicate almond nuttiness. Subtle spice threads through, leading to a long, refined finish framed by Mizunara smoke and lingering wood sweetness.
Finish
Profound finish, Mizunara incense smoke lingers over subtly sweet, toasted wood, with a gentle acidity that keeps the palate bright and the memory lingering.
