The Yamazaki 12 Year is one of the most iconic and recognizable Japanese Single Malt Whiskies. Bottled at 43%.
Yamazaki was the first distillery in Japan built to make single malt whisky, and it can be argued that its success is chiefly what lead Suntory Global to becoming one of the major global whisky-makers today. The distillery was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii and Mastataka Taketsuru, and has been operating for over a century now.

The base of the whisky, Japanese single malts and grain, have been matured in American oak casks. The dressing is the more rare and complex Sherry and Mizunara (Japanese oak) notes. The single malts have been sourced from Hakushu and Yamazaki and the grain whiskies from Chita. This is the first Suntory whisky made available in Canada in more than 2 years.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: clean, floral and grainy with a touch of juicy malt; delicate fruits, melon and kiwi with lots of vanilla and subtle spices.
Palate: juicy, fruity and floral with toasty American oak and rich spices (Mizunara?); lots of fruits here, more melon and kiwi, silky grains and chewy malt mingle with orange peel and vanilla bean.
Finish: long, toasty and silky with fading fruits, spices and sugars.
Comment: Japanese blends never seem to disappoint, and this one is no exception. It is very elegant and complex. Hopefully we get more than promissed...
