The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara Japanese Oak Cask (700ml) is a highly coveted, limited-edition single malt masterpiece from the iconic House of Suntory. Unlike the core Yamazaki 18 Year expression (which is aged in a combination of American, Spanish, and Mizunara casks), this ultra-premium release is matured exclusively in rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks for a minimum of 18 years.
Mizunara ("water oak") is notoriously difficult for coopers to work with due to its porous, leak-prone nature, making these casks incredibly scarce. However, the wood rewards decades of patient maturation by imparting an ethereal, deeply meditative character entirely unique to Japanese whisky.
Profile & Tasting Notes
- ABV: 48% (96 Proof)
- Color: Reddish amber with deep, warm copper highlights.
- Nose: Rich and elegantly layered. Aromas of dark cherry, ripe peach, and dried persimmon are accented by warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, underpinned by a distinct, temple-like fragrance of agarwood and sandalwood.
- Palate: A velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel. It features a complex, graceful interplay of spiced honey, Japanese pear, and rich orangette, weaving seamlessly with profound notes of traditional Japanese incense.
- Finish: Exceptionally long, lingering, and complex. The spiritual warmth of sandalwood dominates, slowly fading into clove, toasted oak, and a delicate touch of dried coconut
