One of the first Japanese single malts to break into the UK market, Suntory's Yamazaki 12 Year Old continues to impress with its well-balanced fruity sweetness, something that appeals to novice and experienced whisky drinkers alike.
Tasting Notes (3)Yamazaki 12 year Old is a pioneering malt in Japan, for which Suntory deserve great credit. In its early days, it was rounded and delicate...now it is more intense, confident and elegant. 8/10. Michael Jackson, Whisky Magazine, Oct 2002

Tasting Notes for CLASS Magazine
-
Appearance
Clear dark golden with burnished gold highlights.
-
Aroma
Cinnamon, red apple, muscovado sugar and jasmine blossom.
-
Taste
Medium bodied and honeyed in style, this easy vanilla malt bursts with apple fruit and jasmine freshness but is made complex thanks to notes of candied orange peel, cinnamon and clove spice and balancing dusty cigarette ash and cedarwood dryness.
-
Aftertaste
Woody oxidised pineapple notes linger on the pleasant finish.
-
Rating
4.5/5.

Producer's Tasting Notes
-
Yamazaki is the first Japanese distillery established 1923. The distillery is situated in the vale of Yamazaki, an area of dense bamboo grooves at the foot of Mt. Tennozan outside Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital and stronghold of traditional Japanese culture.
The spiced wood arrives first then dried cranberries with a lasting muddle of orange marmalade and honey sweetness.

Like a Scot Speyside. I get a lot of berry-like sweetness on the arrival with a very rich, full, rounded & smooth overall structure--this, without water. I get a little smoke in the nose and pepper on the finish w/o water. Oh my, with a drop of water in the dram--the flavor explodes across my palate, and aerates into warm waves of hyugge-like coziness. I have Suntory Toki and the absolutely rapturous Hibiki. This is something different, but equally interesting in its complexity and levels of flavor.

Sweetness hugs your nose the moment you start nosing, really smooth and mellow taste, finish not that long leaving an interesting cask aftertaste on your tongue. Recommended!

Smooth honey flavour with hints of citrus. No sting to the taste buds.
