Yamazaki, 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

The vale of Yamazaki at Tennozan Mountiain on the outskirts of Kyoto was the birthplace of Japanese Whisky. The malt whisky produced at the Yamazaki Distillery, with a tradition dating back to 1923, has slept through a long cycle of Japan's colourful seasons - the brightness of spring, the luxuriant green of summer, the vermillion foliage of autumn, and the white blanket of winter. Pure malt whisky 'Yamazaki' uses only 100% malt whiskies of at least 12 years old. Radiant and noble, it's flavour is full-bodied and mellow, and the distinctive woody taste of mature malt indices a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. The nose is light with summer fruits and a spiciness. The flavour is sweet and spicy with a body, mainly on the top of your toungue and with a long finish.
