Yamazaki 25 year old Mizunara 2025 Release, 48%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Single Malt
Compared to the 18 year old, the mizunara aromas are deeper, sweeter, and more mature, with elevated notes of burning incense, grated nutmeg on panna cotta, apricot clafoutis, polished wood, and cardamom-sprinkled milk custard. Rich white chocolate, sweetened milk, clove-studded bitter orange, and kumquat flavors, with greater aged oak character adding sophisticated mature nuances to this experiential whisky. Truly nothing else like it.
