Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara Tsukuriwake 2024 Japanese Single Malt Whisky ABV 48% Vol 70cl / 700ml

Through years of experimentation, our blenders have discovered the secret to the treasures of Mizunara casks: time. A long maturation period imparts unmistakeable spiciness and notes of sandalwood and aloe upon the Yamazaki. As a result, Yamazaki Mizunara Aged 18 Years is a pleasingly complex, rich and elegant whisky, where fruit, spice and wood notes engage to inspire the senses.

The jewel in the crown of the 2024 Tsukuriwake series, this single malt was matured exclusively in Mizunara casks, celebrating the distillery’s mastery over Japanese oak.
