About this bottle

This no-age-statement single malt from Yamazaki was bottled in 2013. It was part of the Yamazaki Cask Collection highlighting four cask types used at the distillery's cooperage: bourbon, sherry, mizunara, and puncheon. The puncheon is a larger type of barrel made from American oak that can hold significantly more liquid. 2013 was the final year of the series

AnttiRG 4.0

A balanced, whisky from the Yamazaki distillery matured in Puncheon casks,. A Hoggie will hold 230 liters, whereas the mighty Puncheon holds 480 liters. What this means for this Yamazaki single malt Japanese whisky is that it matures in the Puncheon slower, allowing it to gently acquire flavor from the cask. It has a birth with note of strawberry, elderflower, sandalwood, vanilla bean, caramel a hint of buttered rye bread. grass & white peach; while life adds notes of pineapple, sultana, plum, floral oak, a hint of cigar box & fudge; that leads to a long & warming death with notes of white grape, green apple, pear, barley & a hint of spicy cinnamon.
