Suntory Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Time and patience distilled. Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt represents the pinnacle of Japanese whisky artistry—richly layered, deeply contemplative, and endlessly complex. Crafted at Suntory’s Yamazaki Distillery near Kyoto, this expression blends malts matured in American, Spanish sherry, and rare Japanese Mizunara oak. Each cask type adds a voice to the chorus: sherry brings dried fruit and chocolate, Mizunara lends sandalwood and incense, and American oak softens everything into silk. The result is a whisky of balance and quiet power—elegant, spicy, and almost spiritual in depth.

Nose: Raisin, apricot, cafe au lait, Mizunara (Japanese oak)
