Japanese whisky is most similar to scotch whisky in terms of its production methods. Single malts and blends are the main styles made, using pot and column stills and aged in a variety of barrel types, including ex-bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and Japanese mizunara oak. Blending is very important in Japanese whisky, as many distilleries make different types of whisky which are married together by the master blender before bottling. On the nose: A vivacious, somewhat young-smelling burst of bubblegum, potpourri, and lychee. The fruity notes intensify as this is allowed to sit in the glass, becoming more ripe and sweet, almost cloyingly so. Faint hints of lemongrass and white pepper are all that this presents in the way of spicy notes; there’s perhaps a wisp of sandalwood incense if I really concentrate.

The tasting experience of the Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve begins with a fruity nose, where notes of papaya blend harmoniously with hints of cinnamon, sandalwood, and cherry cola.

The Yamazaki Aged 12 Years – Matt’s Review

Some interesting elements here, but not presented convincingly enough. If anything, this is maybe a little bit better than I remember mid-late 20-teens batches of this expression to be, not that that is saying much. It’s not flawed. It’s not offensive. It’s fine. It’s very, very OK, considered on its own merits.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.On the nose: Pineapple pound cake just came out of the oven and traveled an hour to your place in a wooden container that was also in the oven but wasn’t on fire, but it was warm. In summary, the Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve is a fine whisky that offers richness on the nose, flavorful characteristics on the palate, and a spicy finish.
