Yamazaki Single Malt has proved to be one of the most popular Japanese whiskies available today. This new edition the Distillers Reserve has been brought out to relieve sales pressure on the more expensive 12 years old, but provides the perfect example of a great Japanese whisky. Golden in colour with a nose of strawberry, cherry and mizunara wood. The palate has red fruits with a touch of coconut with vanilla and a hint of cinnamon on the finish.
