Yamazaki Bourbon Barrel 2013

From Yamazaki, the oldest distillery in Japan, comes the 2013 release of their bourbon barrel-matured single malt whisky. It’s made from carefully selected Yamazaki malts which have all been aged in 180-litre bourbon barrels, which have bestowed distinctively sweet notes of vanilla upon the excellent no-age statement Japanese whisky. Nose: citrus, freshly squeezed oranges, plum, honey, coconut oil, green apples Palate: bright, full bodied, oily coating of lovely flavors, coconut, oranges, peaches, green apples Finish: long lingering, honey sweetness, slightly bitter citrus
