Cuvée presentation

Yamazaki 18 Year Old holds a great reputation among whisky enthusiasts. It perfectly represents the Yamazaki style, being aged in sherry casks and exemplifying the high standards of Suntory in regards to both the quality of wood and casks. Made from 80% whisky aged in a sherry cask with the remaining 20% aged in Mizunara casks. The wood is a mixture of Japanese and ex-American oak cask. Overall, it is a whisky that appears reserved but equally abundant, dry yet rich. This version comes with a leather storage pouch made by Bill Amberg Studio.

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.
