Considered as one of the stars of Suntory, Yamazaki Sherry Cask is a true work of art. The team responsible for these bottlings leave nothing to chance. The process of the initial selection of oak trees for the casks, followed by the refinement of the finest Oloroso sherry casks, ensures only the best make the cut, and the Yamazaki single malt can age in the best possible conditions. This results in a rich and deep whisky, aged for between 12 and 15 years, that's sure to capture the hearts of Sherry Cask fans - and has been since 2009. This 2013 edition was once named “Best Whisky In The World” by critic Jim Murray. Like the majority of whiskies with a strong sherry character, the nose offers notes of plums, chocolate and a lovely memory of wood. The palate is particularly divine, bursting with flavours of christmas cake, dried figs and myriad spices. A limited edition of 16,000 bottles.

The distillery Yamazaki

Japan, Osaka. Distillery operational. Owner: Suntory

If ever the Scottish distillery Macallan had an alter ego, it would be Yamazaki. The doyen of Japanese distilleries, Yamazaki has, since the closure of Karuizawa in the early 2000s, dominated the sherry cask maturation scene with its standard bearer The Yamazaki 18 Year Old and the now very rare Yamazaki 25 Year Old. Sherry has become Yamazaki's trademark, with numerous medals and awards recognizing its expertise in and mastery of this style of maturation in demanding latitudes. A large number of small batch versions - such as The Yamazaki Distiller's Sherry Edition 2013, and single casks - such as The Yamazaki Elephant Private Cask 3T70070, have played their part in this. Yamazaki is also renowned for its Mizunara Japanese oak casks, such as The Yamazaki 1986 Owner's Cask 6G5029 and its small batch vintage versions which demonstrate the master blender's skill in marrying casks from different origins (Spain, America, Japan) and different woods (sherry, bourbon, mizunara), such as in The Yamazaki 25 Year Old 1984.
