Yamazaki 25 year old (2021 release), 43%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2021 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Whisky
The mizunara wood notes are striking, with sandalwood, incense, and the sweet fragrance of wilting flowers, intermingled with vanilla, dried fruits, and fragrant wood spices. Rich and complex, with sweet vanilla, soft oak, ripe green fruits, and citrus bitterness, ending in a pool of creaminess with a gently oaked finish. A fabulously rich version of Yamazaki 12 compared to the 1984 and previous 25 year old which are sherried and spicy.Collectibles
