Yamazaki Mizunara Cask 18 year old (2017 Edition), 48%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2018 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Whisky
When whisky lovers talk about the grandeur of Japanese whisky, the enlightenment they desire can be found within this bottle. A refined luxury evocative of toasted marshmallow, sweet incense, butter-soft caramels, oak spices, and ground cinnamon. All the hallmarks of mizunara are here. Concentrated sweet citrus, so intensely fruity on the palate; the mouthfeel is rapturously silky with touches of mango, dried apricot, and gentle but resilient spices.
