Proudly cited as the first Japanese single malt whisky ever marketed, Suntory’s The Yamazaki 12 year old was introduced as far back as 1984 and is carefully-crafted whisky from Japan’s oldest malt distillery! Having accumulated a near cult-like following since that time, Yamazaki 12 is now the number 1 selling single malt in Japan and is savored in over 35 countries across the globe. Composed of a mash bill containing 100% malted barley, this ultra-superior malt whisky is aged for a minimum of 12 years in a trifecta of select casks, namely; American ex-bourbon, Spanish sherry-seasoned, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, Suntory The Yamazaki 12 is an exceptionally expressive whisky offering pronounced aromatics of warm cinnamon, fresh fruit, oak, and cherries. The palate is rife with baking spices, citrus, and hints of apricots and grapes.
