A wonderful example of what Japanese whisky is capable of. Highly praised by whisky connoisseurs. This masterpiece is a multi layered single malt whiskey with fruit and Mizunara aromas, extremely smooth, with great complexity and a lovely balance of rich fruit, silky malt and a touch of smoke. Slowly matured over 18 years in sherry butt casks, this award winning Japanese single malt, Yamazaki's legendary 18 year old earned a Gold at the 2007 International Spirits Challenge and a Double Gold at the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
