The Yamazaki Whisky is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, from Japan’s first and oldest malt distillery. With a range of options from Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve to 12, 18, and 25 years old, all of these prized whiskies contain carefully blended components aged in American, Spanish, and Japanese Mizunara oak.
This Japanese whisky presents a delightful and complex flavor profile, characterized by its fruity and sweet notes with a subtle spicy finish. The whisky displays a rich gold color in the glass, hinting at its depth and maturity. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of strawberry and cherry aromas, complemented by the distinctive scent of Mizunara (Japanese oak), which adds a unique cultural touch to the experience. The palate is equally impressive, featuring a harmonious blend of raspberry and white peach flavors, with a subtle touch of coconut that adds an intriguing tropical element. The finish is notably smooth and sweet, dominated by vanilla notes and concluding with a clear, crisp sensation. A hint of cinnamon provides a gentle spicy warmth at the end, adding complexity to the overall tasting experience. This whisky showcases the refined craftsmanship and diverse flavor palette characteristic of high-quality Japanese whiskies.
