Yamazaki 18 Year Old is a Japanese single malt from Suntory's Yamazaki, the oldest whisky distillery in Japan. It was launched in 1992 and is bottled at 43% ABV in a 70cl bottle.
Around 80% of the whisky is matured in sherry butts, and the remainder spent its years in American oak and Mizunara oak casks.
The nose brings truffles, thick bitter marmalade, resin, potpourri and heavy Oloroso sherry. The palate is rich and bittersweet, with heather roots, cigar leaves, honey, toffee apples, plum wine and black pepper, and perhaps a touch of rancio. The finish is long and fruity, led by marmalade.
