Yamazaki 18 Year Old 43% 70cl

Yamazaki 18 Year Old 43% ABV

The iconic age statement from Japan’s original malt distillery, Yamazaki 18 Year Old is a remarkable dram indeed. This single malt has been matured in American, Spanish and Mizunara oak – the result is a spectacularly complex, opulently elegant whisky. With 2023 making a century since the Yamazaki Distillery was founded, there’s no better moment to add this landmark expression to your collection.

Nose: Rich, aromatic tobacco notes alongside tree resin, orange oil furniture polish and almonds. Dried flowers add a delicate lift, while fine marmalade and a luxurious dark chocolate wrap it all up.

Palate: Sumptuously decadent, there’s more of that dark chocolate, this time with honey, walnut, dark fruits, crème brulée and even freshly unboxed cigars. Bittersweet and lavish in equal measure. 

Finish: Long, winding and complex, with dark fruits, this time enveloped in oaky spices.
