The Pinnacle of Yamazaki — Yamazaki 18 Year Old

Yamazaki 18 Year Old is a full-bodied whisky with overwhelming mellowness, matured in sherry and mizunara casks, then further aged with sherry cask-matured whiskies of 18 years or more. This rich bottle offers sweet raisin and fragrant chocolate aromas from sherry casks, honey-like sweetness, and the layered maturity of mizunara casks.

Recommended Ways to Drink

• Straight: To savor the complex aromas and flavors as they are
