Crafted by Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery, Yamazaki, this exceptional 18-year-old expression embodies the refined artistry of Suntory’s whisky-making tradition. Established in 1923 in the forested valleys of Kyoto Prefecture, Yamazaki is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and pioneering use of Mizunara oak casks. This limited-edition whisky showcases the rare and highly prized influence of Japan’s native Mizunara oak, celebrated for its distinctive spice and complexity.
Whisky Description
Deep amber in colour, Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara Cask offers an exquisite aromatic profile of sandalwood, fragrant incense, and dried coconut, hallmarks of Mizunara oak. The palate reveals layers of dark cherry, ripe plums, and honeyed almonds, balanced by warm cinnamon and clove spices. Silky and full-bodied, the whisky lingers on the finish with notes of Japanese cedar, sweet vanilla, and a whisper of smoke, creating a profoundly elegant and enduring experience.
