The Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whiskey Distiller's Reserve 750ml

The Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve is a single malt Japanese whisky from Suntory's Yamazaki Distillery, the country's first malt whisky house, founded in 1923 between Kyoto and Osaka. The blend draws on malt aged in American, Spanish, and Japanese Mizunara oak, and the Mizunara — a rare, slow-growing oak prized for its sandalwood perfume — is what sets the profile apart. Strawberry and cherry on the nose give way to raspberry, white peach, and a touch of coconut, closing on sweet vanilla with a hint of cinnamon. Bottled at 86 proof, the whisky stays light on its feet. Drink it neat to study it, or build the definitive Japanese highball: tall glass, hard ice, sparkling water.
