Flavour Profile: Fragrant and Floral

This is the bottle that really needs no introduction but we’ll do one anyway. The Yamazaki 12 certainly has a reputation that precedes it – almost synonymous with the category that is Japanese whisky.

A truly evocative whisky that is very much part of the full whisky experience. It is not only the cornerstone of Japanese whisky, but is certainly one you must try to complete your understand of whisky in full. 

It is a masterclass in eloquence, wonderfully well-balanced, easy to drink, accessible to the palate and one that is steeped in history. This one is light, floral and fruity, almost like drinking jasmine green tea for adults. Wafts of bittersweet smoke weave in and out of the palate, working the iconic Mizunara influence through the malt.

This is the whisky you have to try whether you’re starting out or if you’ve strayed too far into whisky land and you forgot what great whisky tastes like.
