Australian Stock

With the launch of the reformulated Yamazaki 25 Single Malt Whisky, the House of Suntory honours the birthplace of Japanese whisky, capturing and celebrating the pioneering roots of one of the world s greatest whiskies. Yamazaki 25 Single Malt Whisky is blended from rare whiskies aged over a quarter of a century in the place Shinjiro Torii chose to begin the illustrious journey of Japanese whisky.

Fifth generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo has returned to the roots of what made Yamazaki Single Malt quintessentially Yamazaki: deep, complex and multi-layered with fruit and Mizunara notes. Now, Yamazaki 12, Yamazaki 18 and the reformulated Yamazaki 25 all contain carefully blended liquid components aged in American oak, Spanish oak and Japanese Mizunara oak.

"A fabulously rich version of Yamazaki 12 compared to the 1984 and previous 25 year old which are sherried and spicy. Collectibles" - Johnny McCormick, Whisky Advocate

Nose: Mizunara smoky notes of incense, followed by a complex bouquet of mature kaki persimmon and ume plum notes.

Palate: A smoky first sip of Mizunara sandalwood notes that open and deepen into complex layers of kaki persimmon subtle sweetness, tart ume plum notes and gentle shoga ginger spicy notes.

Finish: Profound long finish with Mizunara smokiness and lingering subtly sweet wood notes that remain.
