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.

In the Eye : Deep Caramely colour In the Nose : Could taste the barrel !!! In the Mouth : Smooth Texture . Lightly sweet and kind of deep aftertaste (EXACTLY my taste) . As for the actual taste , aromatic , fruity and barrelish. This bottle is now my favourite . Definitely will always have place in my mini-bar .

It’s very nice. I’m a Scotch drinker so this was a nice surprise. Very smooth easy drinking whiskey. I pair my whiskeys with the cigars that I smoke and it pairs rather nicely with the Cuban cigars that I smoke.

One of the best whiskeys I've ever tried!
-
Very sooth excellent!
-
Delicious - creamy, smooth, with lovely toffee and pear nose. The finish is not as intense as you would hope for a near ?100 whisky but typically Japanese whiskies are not as good value so that is expected.

Perfect single malt
-
A very solid japanese whisky and tops Hibiki 12yo, for example. However, price has gone up really steeply and is difficult to recommend any longer.
-
Make no mistake this is a great whisky, is it worth the hefty price tag? Mmmm probably not. But worth experiencing, maybe gather a few friends round and split the bottle between you if you fancy trying it.

overated, vastly overated. fruity, some spice, thin feel...average. now the 18 yo, that's a completely different story!
