Suntory built this single malt at Yamazaki, Japan's first malt whisky distillery, dating to 1923. What makes it unusual is the mix of casks: American and Spanish oak alongside Mizunara, the prized Japanese oak that lends a soft incense-like spice. The result leans bright and fruity, with strawberry and cherry on the nose, raspberry and white peach on the palate, and a sweet vanilla finish touched by cinnamon. A no-age-statement expression at 43% ABV. Pour it neat, or over a single large cube.
Tasting notes
Nose: Classic Yamazaki strawberries and dried fruits with floral notes coming from the Mizunara cask whisky. Fragrant sandalwood and maybe coconut. Certainly a whisky where you could get lost in its nose!
Palate: The dried berries remain lively on the palate (it even develops some raspberry notes along the way), but they're dialled back a bit to make room for light oak, white peach and a small amount of spice.
Finish: Vanilla lasts and lasts, with spicy but sweet cinnamon acting as a final flourish.
