Yamazaki 12 Year Old

Description

This 12 Year Old from Yamazaki first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with a little tropical fruit and a rooty note.

Palate: Smooth and soft with good sweetness and winter spice. A lovely citrus note develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum.

Finish: Medium with fruit and zest.

Try before you die.

There aren’t words to describe this whisky; complex but smooth, classy yet down to earth, beautiful and tasty. If you call yourself a single malt whisky drinker, then you better find a bottle. I can’t say enough about this amazing dram.

So hard to find, becoming very rare indeed.
