Yamazaki 18 Year Old – Japanese Single Malt Whisky | 70cl
A World-Famous Icon of Japanese Whisky
Yamazaki 18 Year Old is one of the most celebrated and highly sought-after Japanese single malts ever released. With its signature sherry-cask richness, layered dark fruit intensity, and elegant Mizunara oak spice, it stands as a benchmark for luxury whisky worldwide. Crafted at Japan’s historic Yamazaki distillery, this masterpiece offers depth, refinement and an unmistakable Japanese identity.
Distillery Heritage
Produced by Suntory at the Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery (founded in 1923), this whisky reflects a century of artisanal expertise. The distillery’s humid, forest-surrounded microclimate creates ideal conditions for slow, transformative aging, especially in sherry and Mizunara casks.
Maturation & Cask Influence
The Yamazaki 18 matures predominantly in Spanish sherry casks, giving the whisky its signature notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits and warming spice. Complementing this richness is the rare Mizunara oak, adding hints of incense, sandalwood and delicate Japanese aromatics. Additional American oak brings balance and purity to the structure.
Tasting Notes
Color: Deep amber with mahogany reflections.
Nose: Blackberry, plum, raisin, cocoa, incense and sandalwood. Elegant layers of sherry richness.
Palate: Velvety and concentrated, with black cherry, fig, dark chocolate, spice, leather, and subtle oak sweetness. Exceptional depth and harmony.
Finish: Long, complex and warming, with lingering cocoa, dried fruit and sophisticated wood spice.
