Yamazaki 12 years

Yamazaki 12 Year Old is a revered single malt Japanese whisky produced by the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery. It stands as a testament to the artistry and dedication of Japanese whisky-making, renowned for its impeccable quality and distinct character.

Crafted in the heart of Japan’s Kansai region, Yamazaki 12 undergoes a meticulous production process, including fermentation in wooden washbacks, distillation in copper pot stills, and aging in a combination of American oak, Spanish oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks. The use of Mizunara oak, in particular, imparts unique flavors and aromas to the whisky, contributing to its complexity and depth.

Upon pouring, Yamazaki 12 Year Old reveals a warm amber hue, inviting you to explore its captivating aromas. On the nose, you may encounter notes of honey, dried fruits, citrus, and a subtle hint of cinnamon, alongside delicate floral and oak undertones. The palate offers a smooth and harmonious experience, with flavors of ripe orchard fruits, caramel, vanilla, and a touch of spice, leading to a lingering finish with a gentle sweetness and warmth.

Yamazaki 12 Year Old is cherished by whisky enthusiasts for its elegance, balance, and sophistication. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as part of highball cocktails, allowing its intricate flavors to shine through in every sip. Whether savored on a special occasion or as a daily indulgence, Yamazaki 12 Year Old offers a memorable whisky experience that reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Japanese whisky-making.
