Yamazakura 16 Year Blended Whisky
Blended
Yamazakura // Japan
RARE
This expression was produced exclusively for the European market as not many Yamazakura whiskies make it out of Japan. This blended whisky is comprised of 80% corn and 20% malted barley and the youngest component has actually aged for more than the stated years.
After 16 years maturing in ex-bourbon barrels, it was transferred to tanks for resting, and then moved again to ex-bourbon barrels for the finishing touch. Only 1,192 bottles of this blended whisky were ever released.

Tasting Notes
"The bourbon influence brings aromas of coconut, rich vanilla, and subtle Christmas cake. Toasted bread and coconut butter enter on the palate, and another sip presents hints of pear. The finish is long, with spiced oak leading the way."
