Frequently asked
How does this differ from standard Yamazaki 25?
Standard Yamazaki 25 uses a mix of American oak, sherry-seasoned oak, and Mizunara. This Mizunara 2025 Release emphasises the Mizunara character — a much more pronounced Japanese oak profile at 25 years of aging.
What is Mizunara oak?
Japanese oak (Quercus crispula) — slow-growing, rare, and expensive. Requires 200+ years to mature enough for cask use. Imparts distinctive Japanese incense, sandalwood, coconut notes. At 25 years of maturation, Mizunara reaches particularly refined expression.
Is this investment-grade?
Yes — Mizunara-forward Yamazakis at premium age are increasingly sought by collectors. Retain original packaging and certificate for maximum secondary-market value.

NOSE
Profoundly aromatic — Japanese mizunara incense, sandalwood, caramelised honey, ripe stewed fruit, vanilla, dark caramel, antique leather, dried fig, polished oak, and warm baking spice — extraordinarily mature and distinctively Japanese.
PALATE
Velvety and concentrated — caramelised honey, mizunara incense, sandalwood, vanilla cream, dark toffee, leather, dark cocoa, dried apricot, and integrated mizunara oak — full-bodied with the depth only a quarter-century in mizunara can deliver.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering honey, mizunara incense, sandalwood, vanilla, dark caramel, gentle leather, and a slow warming spice depth fading gracefully — refined, contemplative, and unforgettable.
