Discover the refined elegance of The Yamazaki Distillery Reserve Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70 cl, a masterfully crafted spirit from Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery. This exceptional non-age-statement single malt showcases the artistry and heritage of Yamazaki, offering a complex yet harmonious flavour profile that appeals to both whisky enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

Heritage & Distillery Legacy

Produced by the legendary Yamazaki Distillery — founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the pioneer of Japanese whisky — this Reserve expression captures the spirit of Japanese whisky craftsmanship. Nestled between Kyoto and Osaka, the distillery benefits from the region’s soft water, varied climate, and centuries-old whisky-making philosophy.

Craft & Maturation

This 70 cl bottle of Yamazaki Distillery Reserve is bottled at 43% ABV and matured in a thoughtful combination of Bordeaux wine barrels, Spanish sherry casks, American oak, and rare Japanese Mizunara oak. The varied casks contribute to layers of flavour — from fruity sweetness to spice and delicate wood influence — creating a whisky that is smooth, complex, and wonderfully balanced.

Tasting Notes — Elegant, Fruity & Refined

• Nose: Enticing aromas of strawberries and cherries, with subtle floral accents and a distinctive Mizunara oak character.

• Palate: A rich fruit-driven palate reveals raspberries and white peach, enhanced by soft coconut undertones and gentle oak spice.

• Finish: Smooth and lingering with sweet vanilla and a hint of warming cinnamon, offering a refined and memorable finish.

This single malt is a beautifully expressive whisky that delivers both depth and finesse — perfect for sipping neat, with ice, or as the foundation of elevated whisky cocktails.
