Yamazaki Mizunara Cask 2012 is a rare Suntory Japanese single malt centred on maturation in prized Japanese mizunara oak. It is highly appealing to collectors who value Yamazaki’s fragrant sandalwood and incense-like oak character
From the Producer
Mizunara is Japanese oak, and it is difficult wood: it grows slowly, warps, leaks, and takes years longer than American oak to give anything back. Suntory persisted with it through the postwar decades when imported casks were scarce, and the sandalwood and incense character it eventually produces is now the single most identifiable thing about Yamazaki. A cask-series bottling dedicated to it puts that wood in the foreground rather than in a blend.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Sandalwood, incense, coconut, orchard fruit, vanilla and gentle spice.
- Palate: Elegant and aromatic, with honeyed fruit, oak spice, malt sweetness and distinctive mizunara wood notes.
- Finish: Long and fragrant, with lingering sandalwood, spice and soft fruit.
