Discover the exquisite craftsmanship behind Suntory’s award-winning Yamazaki Single Malt, produced at Japan’s oldest whisky distillery. First released in 1992, this exceptional whisky is predominantly matured in Oloroso sherry butts (80%), with the remainder aged in American and rare Mizunara oak casks. The result is a masterful blend of rich fruit, oak, and delicate smoke—an expression that has rightfully earned global acclaim.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Intense aromas of dark truffles, bitter marmalade, and aged resin, with floral potpourri and deep sherry warmth.
Palate: A layered and bittersweet journey—notes of heather root, cigar leaf, and honey, complemented by toffee apples, plum wine, and a pinch of black pepper. A subtle hint of rancio adds intrigue.
Finish: Long and lingering with a marmalade-led fruitiness that continues to evolve.
