Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky – 70cl
Yamazaki 18 Year Old is widely regarded as one of the finest Japanese single malts in the world — aged for at least 18 years in a combination of American oak, Spanish sherry, and the rare Japanese mizunara oak casks at Japan's oldest malt whisky distillery, founded in 1923.
Yamazaki 18 has won multiple International Spirits Challenge awards and is considered a benchmark sipping single malt globally.
A definitive sipping Japanese single malt — neat in a copita.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Opulent and aromatic — sherried dried fruit, ripe stewed fruit, honey, vanilla, dark caramel, gentle baking spice, dried apricot, mizunara incense, leather, and warm toasted oak — luxurious and beautifully matured.
PALATE
Velvety and rich — caramelised dried fruit, honeyed orchard fruit, vanilla cream, dark toffee, sherried red berry, gentle leather, dark cocoa, mizunara spice, and integrated multi-cask oak — silky, layered, and harmoniously balanced.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering dried fruit, honey, vanilla, mizunara spice, soft caramel, and a slow warming oak depth fading gracefully — refined, mature, and beautifully composed.
