A benchmark of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, the Yamazaki 12 Year Old is produced at Japan’s first and most celebrated malt whisky distillery, founded in 1923 on the outskirts of Kyoto. Matured in a harmonious combination of American, Spanish sherry, and rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks, it captures the essence of Japan’s delicate yet complex approach to whisky making.

Golden amber in colour, it opens with elegant aromas of peach, pineapple, grapefruit and honey, evolving into subtle notes of vanilla, clove and sandalwood. The palate is silky and layered, revealing flavours of sweet fruit, coconut and gentle spice, leading to a lingering finish of ginger and cinnamon. Refined, balanced and deeply expressive, this iconic single malt remains the perfect introduction to the art of Japanese whisky.
