    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

    43% ABV, 750 ml

    The Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve Single Malt Japanese Whisky by Suntory is an approachable and well-crafted entry in the Yamazaki lineup, highlighting the distillery's blend of tradition and innovation. This non-age-statement whisky incorporates a combination of younger whiskies aged in Bordeaux wine casks, older sherry-cask-aged whiskies (some up to 20 years), and malt aged in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. This unique cask influence creates a multi-layered flavor profile.

    Tasting Notes:
    Nose: Sweet malt, red berries, tropical fruits (such as nectarine and peach), with hints of herbs, spices like cinnamon, and subtle oak.
    Palate: Smooth and sweet, with notes of caramel, marzipan, vanilla, and wood spices, balanced with light oak and a touch of fruitiness.
    Finish: Medium-length, with a dry and slightly bitter character, accompanied by woody and chocolatey undertones.

    The whisky's red berry notes are prominent, a result of its time in Bordeaux and sherry casks, while the Mizunara oak adds an aromatic complexity. It is often described as a refined and accessible whisky, suitable for both enthusiasts and those new to Japanese whiskies​.
