Yamazaki Spanish Oak (2022 Edition)

Exactly what you’d expect from this bottle (met the high expectations). Classic yamazaki 18 finished in spanish oak cask. Very well balanced with a nice long spicy finish. Nothing unexpected but very nicely composed. Id buy at msrp at most.

Nose: Dank barrel, cherry, raisins, dark fruit, age! Palette: all the dark fruit: raisins, figs, fruitcake. Toffee, preserves. 0 Peat. Hints of bran & wort just peaking though. Hints of wheat reaches and warm ripe fruit peaking through. All the Musty, dank, water logged barrel you can handle. Oak, mahogany, walnut. Vanilla, fudge, crème brûlée sugar.
