A masterpiece from Japan’s oldest whisky distillery, The Yamazaki 18 Year Old embodies the essence of refined craftsmanship and time-honoured tradition. Matured predominantly in rich Oloroso sherry casks, with select portions aged in American oak and rare Mizunara (Japanese oak), this award-winning single malt delivers unparalleled depth and complexity.
On the nose, it opens with aromatic truffle, dark marmalade, and lavender, balanced by the warmth of sherry and gentle oak spice. The palate unfolds in layers of honeycomb, cigar leaf, toffee apple, and plum wine, enriched by subtle hints of rancio and heather. Each sip reveals new facets—smooth, contemplative, and endlessly rewarding.
The finish is long and elegant, lingering with notes of fruit, marmalade, and soft spice, leaving a lasting impression of balance and harmony.
Celebrated worldwide by connoisseurs, The Yamazaki 18 Year Old stands as a spiritual expression of Japanese whisky—delicate yet profound, complex yet serene.
