Yamazaki 12 Year
Single Malt
Yamazaki // Japan
Yamazaki is a single malt distillery, Japan's oldest, that utilizes several different sizes and shapes of stills and three varieties of wood to in which to age them.
This bottling gets its influence primarily from American ex-bourbon barrels, but ex-Spanish oloroso sherry and Japanese Mizunara oak barrels are also in employ.

Tasting Notes
"Did someone say "breakfast"? Buttered toast and cereal with a dollop of honey and vanilla are found here. There's also some orange notes playing along in the background with the faintest hint of dried cranberries. A subtle smokiness can be found on the finish — not so much in an earthy peaty sense, but more like a just lit incense candle."
