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.
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.

Amazing whisky. Excellent service. Please get some more in.

Delightfully mellow and light on the palate, this 12 year old Suntori ticks all of the right boxes. I thoroughly recommend this to any Whisky lover that enjoys the lighter east coast flavours.

had 3 shots of this Yamazaki 12 years old which was very smooth. Really like it.

Loved the Caramel and honey notes, almost slightly Christmas cakey, which is fine by me. Extremely smooth and not like any whisky I’ve tasted before; if I had to find a negative - the girl likes it. It’s my new favourite treat.

This is one of my favorites! I find it to be one of the smoothest whiskies. The standard.
