Buy Yamazaki 18 Year Mizunara 100th Anniversary Edition
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, this 100th Anniversary edition features single malt whiskies aged for a minimum of 18 years exclusively in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. Native to northern Japan, Mizunara wood is exceptionally porous and challenging to coop, requiring decades of patient aging for the wood’s signature aromatic character to harmonize with the delicate Yamazaki malt. Bottled at 48% ABV (96 Proof) and presented in handcrafted Echizen washi paper packaging, this limited release represents the apex of Suntory’s blending artistry.
In the glass, it displays a radiant, deep amber-red hue with golden reflections. The nose opens with a transcendent, highly aromatic bouquet of rich sandalwood, aloeswood incense, dried apricot, and cinnamon, followed by subtle layers of cooked coconut, orange marmalade, and delicate clove. On the palate, a velvety, elegant, and mouth-coating texture unleashes complex flavors of spiced pear, candied citrus peel, and Japanese incense, beautifully balanced by dark honey, subtle dark chocolate, and toasted oak. The finish is extraordinarily long, spiritual, and lingering, trailing off with persistent notes of sweet sandalwood, light smoke, and warm baking spices.
A prized holy grail for whisky collectors, high-end investors, and Japanese whisky connoisseurs, The Yamazaki 18 Mizunara 100th Anniversary Edition is best served neat in a crystal tasting glass. Order your bottle today from World of Whiskey Shop.
