Description

Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara is a rare and exquisite single malt from Japan’s oldest malt distillery, showcasing the profound influence of Mizunara oak. Aged for over two decades in this uniquely challenging Japanese wood, the whisky reveals extraordinary complexity and depth. On the nose, rich aromas of dark cherry, ripe peach, cinnamon and nutmeg lead into a layered palate of spiced orange, apricot and delicate Japanese incense. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of clove, sandalwood and dried coconut, a hallmark of fine Mizunara maturation. Meticulously crafted by the House of Suntory, this limited expression is a celebration of tradition, patience and refined artistry.
