Yamazaki is Suntory’s flagship whisky. It is brewed in their Yamazaki distillery, Japan’s first commercial distillery. The Yamazaki Single Malt is the most popular single malt whisky in Japan. This layered whisky is primarily available in three age statements, 12, 18 and 25 and available to buy in 35 countries around the world.
Yamazaki 12 Years Old
For those who prefer their whisky light and sweet, the golden toned 12 year Yamazaki has a succulent taste of coconut and cranberry with a ginger and cinnamon finish.
Yamazaki 18 Years Old
Want something a bit sexier? The amber coloured 18 year old Yamazaki has a autumn fruit and dark chocolate palate with a long spicy finish – perfect for cosy nights in!
Yamazaki 25 Years Old
If you really mean business, opt for the 25 year old Yamazaki. Its deep mahongony colour complements its nose of cherry, currant, tomato and balsamic with a palate of marmalade, coffee and cocoa.
