The number 1 whisky in the world for 3 years running has been voted as Yamazaki 18.
The jewel in the crown of the 2024 Tsukuriwake series, this fine Japanese single malt was matured exclusively in Mizunara oak casks, whose longer maturation produces a unique style of Yamazaki single malt with elegant notes of dried fruits, incense, coconut and sandalwood.
Through years of experimentation, our blenders have discovered the secret to the treasures of Mizunara casks: time. A long maturation period imparts unmistakeable spiciness and notes of sandalwood and aloe upon the Yamazaki. As a result, Yamazaki Mizunara Aged 18 Years is a pleasingly complex, rich and elegant whisky, where fruit, spice and wood notes engage to inspire the senses.
Nose: A gentle veil of smoke drifts across the nose, nuanced by a delicate biscuit note. Islay peat threads through Yamazaki’s characteristic sweetness, yielding warmth and quiet invitation.
