Suntory: Yamazaki 12 Year Old 43% 25ml

Whisky of the Week #24

Yamazaki 12 Year Old 43%

Yamazaki is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, from Japan's first and oldest malt distillery near Kyoto. This 12 year old first came onto the market some 38 years ago , and realistically the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt.

How does it taste?

Nose: Oily and zesty, with fruity notes.
Palate: Soft, sweetness and spiciness developing into citrus and tropical flavours .
Finish: Clean fruity and fresh.

Why did I choose this whisky?
With our ability to have people drink at the Compass, all be it in limited numbers, six months of distance sharing whisky has left a lot to catch up on. There is nothing like a serious whisky with friends to chat about and Yamazaki often comes up in conversation so here it is.
