Suntory Yamazaki 12 year old single malt is medium-bodied with aromas of dried fruits and honey. Delicate and mellow tasting with a lingering, woody finish.

This 12 year is modeled after the Scottish industry. The 12 year has bright tropical fruit on the nose and palate, full bodied. The whisky is aged in American, Spanish and Japanese oak barrels. The influence is definitely notable on the finish.

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Japanâ€�s premiere single malt with a delicate and elegant taste that
makes it a superbly drinkable whisky with layers of complex aromas. It
continues to capture the hearts of whisky lovers the world over.

I like my whisky old and my women young!

Color

Old gold

Nose

Chocolate, coffee and cherry cake. Tunnock's Caramel Wafers, orange sweets, malt and nutty toffee with gentle peat smoke.

Taste

Smokey hit at first with a maritime note, but the malt asserts itself with a little toffee and citrus.

Finish

Dry, spicey and gently warming. Nicely long.

Comments

Some very nice aspects to this. I like it.

It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

Better than expected, fine soft music, an absolutely nice dram. Soft and sweet sherry with a hints of herbs. Sweet and fruity sherry with some oak. A rather long fruity finish.
