Yamazaki 2023 Limited Edition Release 70cl

The Yamazaki 2023 Limited Edition boasts a rich and lustrous amber hue, inviting enthusiasts to explore its depth and character. On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of aromas, including notes of ripe orchard fruits, such as apples and pears, complemented by hints of honey, vanilla, and delicate floral undertones.

Crafted from whisky that is at least 12 Years Old aged in Mizunara Oak.

The palate is a sensory journey, with layers of flavours unfolding delicately on the tongue. The initial sip reveals a velvety texture and a delightful fusion of fruitiness and sweetness. Lush flavours of tropical fruits, citrus, and caramelized sugars mingle with gentle spice notes, showcasing the whisky's complexity and balance.

The finish is long-lasting and satisfying, leaving a warm and lingering sensation. Subtle oak influences emerge, bringing forth gentle tannins and a touch of smokiness, enhancing the overall depth and providing a captivating finale to the tasting experience.

HISTORY

Between 2014 and 2017, the Yamazaki Limited Edition bottlings were some of the most sought after annual Japanese whisky releases on the market. Limited in numbers and containing some precious, aged Yamazaki liquid inside, they delivered in quality, appearance and collectability.

It was only once the realities of the perilous whisky shortage took hold that these wonderful expressions were lay by the wayside, making way for a number of less-premium, NAS whiskies such as the Essence of Suntory Volumes 3 and 4 and the recent Yamazaki Cask Finish releases.

Then, in 2021, Suntory revitalized the series with the release of the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2021 bringing back the good times, at long last. This was followed by the hugely popular Yamazaki Limited Edition 2022, and now, Suntory are keeping the ball rolling with the release of the Y amazaki Limited Edition 2023.

This one brings a fruity and spicy flavour profile that works wonders on the nose and palate and keeps you coming back for another dram time and time again. Expect pineapple, orange peels and gentle nutmeg on the nose, before the palate arrives with sweet honey, creamy coconut and subtle hints of blueberry. Then comes the magnificent finish, topping things off in style with notes of vanilla, ginger and gentle smoke. What more could you want?

With the first release highly limited in numbers, stocks aren’t expected to last long, so act now to get your hands on a bottle while you can.
