Suntory Yamazaki 18 Year

This item is archived.

Tasting Note Courtesy of Whisky Magazine: Nose: Rich and slightly sweet though with a balanced oakiness. Walk in the woods: apple and violet, an old log cabin in the summer heat. Palate: Though lighter than the nose suggests this has class. Leafy, almost mossy. Pine woods, violet again and a dusty rooty quality but sufficient sweetness to add depth and complexity. Finish: Good length. Pomegranate.

The Japanese having been making single malt whisky for more than 80 years and this is an excellent example. Matured in sherry casks it is very smooth, with raisin and sherry notes.
