Description

The Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, originating from Japan's first and oldest malt distillery, established in 1923. [8, 15] This non-age-statement release, introduced in Spring 2014, is crafted from a vatting of whiskies matured in a combination of American oak, ex-sherry, Bordeaux wine, and rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks. [5, 7, 9, 11, 13] This diverse cask selection contributes to its multi-layered and fragrant profile, showcasing the distinct character of Yamazaki's traditional house style. [11] It is known for its fruity and sweet notes, with a complex and balanced flavor profile. [6, 14]
