Yamazaki 12 Year Old

Japanese Single Malt Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 43%

The iconic Suntory Yamazaki 12-year-old is a highly sought-after aged whisky from Japan's original single malt whisky distillery Yamazaki, built in 1923.

A complex, elegant Japanese whisky, Yamazaki 12-year-old first appeared in the mid-1980s and has a rich, generous fruit and malt character with faint smoke and spices. Best of all, though, is the generous silky mouthfeel, and the exquisite balance is one of Yamazaki's hallmarks.

One of Japan's most drinkable whiskies, the price of Yamazaki 12-year-old single malt has jumped in recent years as stocks of aged Yamazaki dwindled, but hopefully in another few years availability will improve and this marvellous whisky will become more accessible once again - it really is a dram that belongs in every single malt fan's cabinet.
