Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve - Suntory - 70cl

Born in the Suntory historic distillery, the first in Japan, Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve is the new single malt to integrate the permanent whisky range of the brand. Fruity flavors, big part of the Yamazaki distillery signature including strawberry, cherry and white peach, are complemented by japanese typical spicy notes including cinnamon, incense and ginger.

Whisky is very sweet, Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve is ideal for amateurs and very intriguing for fans of Japanese whisky. It can be tasted straight or "on the rocks" with ice, but you can just as well serve a "highball" with sparkling water for a typical Japanese tasting experience.

Three main elements enter into the composition of this single malt: a young talent and two veterans. Suntory selected as its young talent a young whisky matured in French oak barrels of wine from Bordeaux with exceptional aromatic qualities for its young age. To bring complexity and body while respecting the signature of Yamazaki, blenders have selected whiskies aged over 20 years in sherry casks. Finally, to harmonize this blend, Suntory opted for a whisky aged in Japanese oak barrels, the precious mizunara, which brings typically Japanese spicy notes.
