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. Matured in a combination of American, Spanish and Japanese oak casks, this elegant and smooth whisky has created its own legend and has a cult-like following and fan base.
The color is pure gold. On the nose, peach, pineapple, grapefruit, clove, candied orange, vanilla, and Mizunara (Japanese oak). On the palate, coconut, cranberry, and butter. A long finish, sweet ginger and cinnamon.
