This delicious whisky is smooth, flavour-packed, and incredibly moreish, created by mixing malts aged 12 years and older, all of which had been matured only in virgin Mizunara wood casks. On the nose, it has pineapple, orange, and nutmeg, followed by honey, coconut cream, and blueberries on the tongue. The finish is medium in length and slightly smoky, with lingering vanilla and ginger notes.

Yamazaki Limited Edition bottlings were among the most sought-after annual Japanese whisky releases on the market between 2014 and 2017. They delivered in quality, beauty, and collectibility while being limited in number and holding some rare, aged Yamazaki liquid inside.

Only until the realities of the looming whisky crisis set in did these excellent expressions go by the wayside, making way for a number of less-premium, NAS whiskies like the Essence of Suntory Volumes 3 and 4 and the latest Yamazaki Cask Finish releases.

The good times have returned, at least somewhat, with the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2021, and we now have some truly quality Yamazaki liquid to get our gums around.
