Suntory Yamazaki 55, released in 2021 and limited to just 200 bottles (with a 100 bottle global release), is a 92-proof single malt Japanese whisky aged for 55 years, making it the oldest Japanese whisky ever produced and undoubtedly the finest and rarest single malt Japanese whisky available. An icon of refinement and a statement of the Yamazaki distillery's peerless quality standards, the Yamazaki 55 is Suntory's magnum opus - spanning 3 generations of distilling, aged in a combination of Mizunara and American white oak. A single malt whisky that transcends anything Suntory has produced before, the Yamazaki 55 single malt is a complex and considered single malt that offers notes of freshly mowed grass, spicy ginger, ripe mango and bitter citrus, underpinned by the influence of Mizunara and culminating in a sophisticated, lengthy finish.

Beautifully appointed with a popular sherry cask finish, bottled at 96 proof, and with only 5,000 bottles released worldwide - this silky, sophisticated single malt is the definition of 'fine and rare'. Expect lavish hints of raisin, clove and cocoa on the nose, before the palate opens up with a deep, rich sherry aroma, subtle sweet and sour notes that perfectly complement chocolate and hazelnut notes. The finish is long and luxurious, with a mellow bittersweet sourness. A stunning, highly sought-after bottle from Suntory, and a must-have for any keen collector of Japanese whisky.

The pioneer of Japanese whisky and the flagship extra-aged single malt from Suntory, the esteemed Japanese whisky distiller, the Yamazaki 55 is luxury personified. Aged for over half a century to produce one of the most sophisticated and surreal tasting experiences of any whisky in the world, the Yamazaki 55 will excite and surprise even the most seasoned connoisseur. Colored by the deep amber of Mizunara casks, expect a woody, mature bouquet of ripe fruit, before a seductively smooth, viscous mouthfeel washes over the mouth with a complex balance of sweet and bitter notes and the Mizunara wood, before a fragrant, smoky, sweet finish lingers, leaving you wanting more and more.
