The Yamazaki Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Choose a bottle size

Widely regarded as an improved version of the 2013 Yamazaki Sherry Cask release (which was subsequently named World Whisky of the Year 2 years later), the 2016 Yamazaki Sherry Cask Single Malt is an inspired and exceptionally crafted Japanese whisky. 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, and 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.…

An absolute killer from Suntory, I have the 2013 and this is on another level - if you can get it, you should.
