Suntory's The Yamazaki 12-year-old is a carefully-crafted whisky from Japan's oldest malt distillery and proudly cited as the first Japanese single malt whisky ever marketed. It was introduced in 1984 and has since gained a near cult-like following, becoming the number 1 selling single malt in Japan and savored in over 35 countries across the globe. This ultra-superior malt whisky is composed of a mash bill containing 100% malted barley and aged for a minimum of 12 years in a trifecta of select casks: American ex-bourbon, Spanish sherry-seasoned, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, Suntory The Yamazaki 12 offers exceptionally expressive aromatics of warm cinnamon, fresh fruit, oak, and cherries. On the palate, it boasts baking spices, citrus, and hints of apricots and grapes.
