The Yamazaki
Single Malt Japanese Whisky
AGED 12 YEARS
INFORMATION:
COUNTRY: Japan
ABV: 43%
BOTTLE SIZE: 700ml
BRAND: Yamazaki
From Japan's first and oldest malt distillery, Suntory, Yamazaki is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky. This 12 year old first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky. Since then, it has acquired something of a cult following, and for good reason! A wonderfully elegant and smooth single malt that’s certainly not lacking in flavor.
Tasting Note:
Nose: Good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with a little tropical fruit and a rooty note.
Palate: Smooth and soft with good sweetness and winter spice. A lovely citrus note develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum.
Finish: Medium with fruit and zest.
