Description from the seller
Distillery: The Yamazaki
Age: NAS
ABV: 48.0%
Volume: 70cl
Vintage: Non-Vintage
Condition: Sealed, unopened
The Yamazaki Distillery, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, holds the esteemed title of Japan's first commercial whisky distillery. Nestled at the confluence of three rivers near Kyoto, its unique location provides exceptional water sources and a diverse climate, crucial for its distinctive maturation profile. As the flagship distillery of Suntory, Yamazaki has cultivated an unparalleled reputation for crafting exquisite single malts, making its limited releases highly coveted among global whisky collectors and connoisseurs.
The Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 Edition stands as a testament to the distillery's mastery of sherry maturation, a highly anticipated annual release that quickly became a legend. This expression was meticulously crafted from whiskies aged exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts, personally selected by Suntory's chief blender. Its deep, complex character, born from the interaction of Yamazaki's spirit with the finest Spanish oak, positions it as an exceptionally rare and desirable bottling, representing a pinnacle for collectors of Japanese whisky.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Deep mahogany
Nose: Dried fruit, chocolate, cinnamon, orange marmalade, a hint of coffee
Palate: Rich, full-bodied, prune, raisin, bitter chocolate, a touch of acidity, balanced oak spice
Finish: Long, warm, spicy, with lingering dried fruit and a subtle smoky nuance
