Suntory Yamazaki 18-Year-Old Mizunara Cask 100th Anniversary Limited Edition

Yamazaki 18-Year-Old Mizunara Cask – 100th Anniversary Limited Edition is a prestigious Japanese single malt from the Yamazaki Distillery in Kyoto, Japan, celebrating Suntory’s centenary. This expression is aged exclusively in Mizunara oak casks for a minimum of 18 years and bottled at 48% ABV (96° proof) . Crafted using 100% malted barley, it showcases the rare and distinctive character of Japanese oak.

Pouring a deep reddish-amber color, it opens with aromas of sandalwood, dark cherry, ripe peach, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Subtle incense-like notes of aloe and dried coconut emerge, leading into a palate rich with stewed fruit, citrus zest, manuka honey, and forest spices. The finish is long and lingering, with lingering clove, dried coconut, and a gentle spice from the Mizunara oak.
