An exceptionally rare Mizunara-aged expression, this 18-year Yamazaki is a 2024 edition prized for deep oak perfume and concentrated dark-fruit richness. A carefully curated dram for serious collectors.
Description
At 18 years, this Yamazaki captures the unique resinous character of mizunara oak—incense, sandalwood and complex spice fold around concentrated dried fruit and sustained oak depth. The 2024 edition is a measured, weighty expression that rewards slow sipping.
Allocation and limited availability make this bottle a standout acquisition for those who collect milestones in contemporary Japanese whisky.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Incense and sandalwood with layers of dark fruit and baking spice.

- Finish: Long, resinous mizunara echo with lingering spice and subtle smoke.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
Its combination of significant age and mizunara maturation creates a rare aromatic profile and textural depth—a true collector's piece labeled as a Rare Find for a reason.
