Suntory’s flagship single malt, Yamazaki, is a masterful blend aged in American, Spanish, and Japanese Mizunara oak, with about 80% matured in sherry butts. The result is a complex profile balancing sherried fruitiness with incense-like sandalwood aromas from Mizunara oak. Among its exceptional offerings is the launch of the reformulated Yamazaki 25 Year Single Malt in 2021, a decadently rich whisky aged for over a quarter of a century.
