No-one can say they are a fan of Japanese whiskey without trying the Yamazaki 12-year-old.
Aged in Sherry and Japanese oak casks, it is delicate and elegant with plenty of fruit aromas.
The 12 year old from Yamazaki first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed Japanese single malt whisky with a wide rage of Japanese whiskies existing to date!

Nose: A good body with plenty of nut oils and zest, a pleasant floral character with an equally as pleasant hints of tropical fruits and a rooty note.
Palate: Smooth and soft with a good sweetness to it with warming winter spices. A lovely citrus note soon develops with more tropical fruit notes and a little rum.
Finish: Medium with fruit and zest.
