The Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky Aged 12 Years

The Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a delicate and complex Japanese whisky from the lush forests near Kyoto, Japan, that combines a vibrant fruitiness with a signature, gentle oakiness: on the nose it shows a burst of fresh peach, apricot, and zesty grapefruit layered with delicate jasmine, honeyed sweetness, and whispers of cinnamon and clove; the palate is luxuriously soft and supple, with flavours of ripe pineapple, juicy cranberry, and buttery coconut supported by a gentle warmth of ginger spice, while subtle notes of vanilla and sandalwood from Mizunara oak add an elegant touch; the finish is long, persistent, and warming, making it a perfect pairing for seared foie gras, rich Wagyu beef, and dark chocolate mousse.
