AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction is a pristine bottle of Yamazaki 12 Years Old, the flagship expression from Japan’s oldest malt distillery, founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923. As the pioneer of Japanese whisky, Yamazaki 12 is globally celebrated for its unique, multi-layered aroma and delicate complexity. It is highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide, serving as a benchmark for the excellence of Japanese spirit craft

.The Cask & Maturation
This legendary single malt is crafted from meticulously selected malt whiskies. It owes its distinct and celebrated flavor profile to a unique VATing process, utilizing three different types of casks: American Oak, Spanish Sherry, and the incredibly rare, highly prized native Mizunara Oak. The Mizunara influence gives this whisky its signature oriental, incense-like woodiness.

Nose
Elegant and fruity. Vibrant aromas of peach, pineapple, and grapefruit, beautifully layered with clove, candied orange peel, and the distinct, sandalwood fragrance of Mizunara oak.

Palate
Rich, smooth, and multi-layered. Sweet notes of coconut, red berry jam, and honey melt into deeper complexities of ginger, cinnamon, and subtle Japanese oak spice.

Finish
Long, clean, and deeply satisfying. Lingering notes of sweet vanilla, dried pineapple, and a sophisticated, woody spice.

Bottle Condition: Excellent, pristine label and capsule.

Fill Level
Into neck (excellent).

Packaging
Original presentation box included
