Suntory Yamazaki Distillers Reserve Single Malt Whisky - 70cl 43%

A fresh and fruity whisky from Yamazaki, full of berry fruit and a hint of sherry cask. It's features some mizunara (Japanese oak) matured whisky in the mix, providing a complex spicy character.

Nose: Classic Yamazaki strawberries and dried fruits with fresh floral notes which come from the Mizunara cask whisky. Fragrant sandalwood and coconut, overall certainly a whisky you could get lost in its nose alone.
Palate: The dried berries remain lively on the palate having even developed some raspberry notes along the way but they are slightly held back to make room for light oak, peach and just a hint of spice.
Finish: Vanilla lasts , with spicy but sweet cinnamon acting as a final touch.
Overall: Top quality Japanese whisky, can't go wrong and excellent value too.
