Yamazaki is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, from Japan's first and oldest malt distillery. This 12 year old first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky. Since then, it has acquired something of a cult following, and for good reason! A wonderfully elegant and smooth single malt that’s certainly not lacking in flavour.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with a little tropical fruit and a rooty note.
Palate Smooth and soft with good sweetness and winter spice. A lovely citrus note develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum.
Finish Medium with fruit and zest.
