700ml / 43% ABV

This is an exceptionally special whisky. Yamazaki have created an art form in a bottle with this single malt. The makeup consists of whisky that has been aged for 20 years in ex European oak that previously housed red wine, whisky that has been aged for 20 years in Port barrels and the body stemming from a younger ex bourbon cask whisky. These three elements are married perfectly to create as malt with unparalleled complexity .

For this new 2015 version, a collector's bottle was created with the stills of the distillery painted in the background, plus a nice case proudly displaying the golden sign of Yamazaki written in Japanese.

Tasting Notes (www.japanwhisky.blogspot.com.au)

Nose: Sweet mango, strawberries, sweet oak, honey, apples.

Palate: Oily, green grass and malt, tropical fruit juice.

Finish: Very light smoke and very very light peat, fruity, chestnut cream, lingering oak, rather long.

Overall: A lovely summer dram, fruity and light but with depth. Some aspects feel like old whisky while others feel young and fresh.
