$297The Soul of Japanese Whisky – Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt (Final Version)
🌏 Description
Suntory Yamazaki 12 Year Old is the definitive Japanese single malt — the bottle that introduced the world to the elegance, complexity, and soul of Japan’s whisky tradition. Produced at Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery, nestled in the misty forests of Kyoto’s Yamazaki valley, this final version continues to embody the harmony between nature and craft that defines Suntory’s philosophy.
Matured in a combination of American oak, Spanish sherry oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks, Yamazaki 12 is a rich and multifaceted whisky. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet of ripe peach, clove, orange marmalade, sandalwood, and a hint of smoke. The palate is full and rounded, with flavors of honeyed dried fruit, cinnamon, coconut, roasted nuts, and oaky spice that deepen with each sip. The finish is long and graceful, leaving echoes of dark chocolate, incense, and red berries.
Often regarded as the gateway to Japan’s premium whisky scene, Yamazaki 12 has won countless international awards and remains a favorite among both connoisseurs and newcomers. This “Final Version” continues to uphold the standard of quality and refinement that has made Yamazaki a global icon.
