Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara Oak Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml

Description

Product Description: Eighteen years of patience unlock the quiet depths of Japanese oak. This limited single malt from Yamazaki matures exclusively in Mizunara casks, a bold choice that reveals the wood’s rare and complex signature. Mizunara is notoriously difficult to work with, leaky, porous, and unpredictable, but in the hands of Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery, it becomes a vessel of transformation. Crafted at the Yamazaki distillery near Kyoto, this whisky marks a continuation of Suntory’s decades-long pursuit of Mizunara mastery. The oak, sourced from old-growth forests in Hokkaido and shaped by artisans at the Oumi Cooperage, lends structure and character that emerges only with extended aging. Over 18 years, the whisky draws out incense, sandalwood, and spiced fruit, revealing a profile that speaks of temples, craftsmanship, and time itself.
