Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Yamazaki 18 Year Old is an award winning Japanese single malt. This legendary Yamazaki release has been a frequent winner at global awards competitions, including Gold at the 2007 International Spirits Challenge and a Double Gold at the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The increased recognition and global awareness for this famous release has resulted in diminished supplies while the distillery attempts to ramp up production to meet demand.

The Yamazaki age 18 lies in the middle of Yamazaki’s line of products, between the Yamazaki 12 Year Old and the Yamazaki 25 Year Old bottles. It’s a staple product among whisky elites and one of the highest quality bottles coming out of Japan. The release is a delicate yet profound experience of what Japanese distillers can achieve.

Reviews

Around the internet, you will find the Yamazaki 18 Year old scoring top marks among connoisseurs, including 93/100 from Whisky Advocate and 91/100 from Wine Enthusiast.
