Description from the seller
Lot: 2 Bottles – Premium Japanese Whisky Selection
1 × The Matsui Mizunara Cask ABV: 48%
1 × The Yamazaki 12 Years Old – Suntory ABV: 43%
Origin: Japan
Volume: 700ml / 70cl
The Collection
A rare and highly desirable pairing that captures the essence of Japanese whisky excellence — combining artisanal craftsmanship with global prestige. This lot brings together the innovative character of Kurayoshi Distillery (The Matsui) and the legendary legacy of Suntory, through one of its most iconic expressions, Yamazaki Distillery.
The Matsui – Mizunara Cask 48%
A distinctive whisky aged in rare Japanese Mizunara oak, renowned for its unique aromatic complexity and scarcity.
Profile:
Sandalwood, incense, and exotic spice
Coconut, vanilla, and subtle sweetness
Elegant, slightly creamy texture
Long, refined and aromatic finish
Mizunara oak is one of the rarest and most sought-after maturation woods in the whisky world, contributing to the growing collectible appeal of this expression.
The Yamazaki 12 Years Old – Suntory 43%
A benchmark Japanese single malt and one of the most internationally acclaimed whiskies, representing the birthplace of Japanese whisky.
Profile:
Peach, pineapple, and dried fruits
Honey, clove, and gentle oak spice
Silky, balanced palate
Long, delicate and complex finish
Yamazaki 12 is widely recognized as a cornerstone whisky, with strong global demand and increasing scarcity.
Why This Lot Stands Out
Combination of traditional prestige and innovative maturation
Inclusion of Mizunara oak influence, highly prized among collectors
One of Japan’s most iconic whiskies paired with a rising artisanal expression
Strong appeal for both tasting and long-term collecting
Condition & Storage
Both bottles are kept in impeccable cellar conditions, with controlled temperature and humidity, ensuring perfect preservation of the whisky, labels, and packaging — ideal for collectors and long-term storage.
Investment & Collectible Value
Japanese whisky continues to be one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic segments in the global spirits market. The Yamazaki 12 Year Old has shown consistent appreciation due to limited supply and international recognition, while Mizunara-aged whiskies are increasingly rare and sought after.
This lot represents a strategic acquisition: a balance between established icon and niche rarity, offering both immediate enjoyment and long-term patrimonial value. A compelling addition to any serious whisky collection or investment portfolio.
