Yamazaki 18 Year Old

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky
700ml | 43% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | Discontinued Age Statement

The Crown of Japanese Single Malt

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old is one of Japan’s most celebrated single malts—renowned for its balance, depth, and award-winning pedigree. Consequently, it has become a benchmark for aged Japanese whisky. Moreover, with Suntory phasing out age statements, it is now a discontinued treasure. Above all, it embodies the harmony of Japanese craftsmanship and Scottish tradition.

Matured in Diverse Casks for Complexity

Yamazaki distills its spirit using both Scottish and Japanese methods, then matures it in a blend of Mizunara, sherry, and bourbon casks. In fact, this multi-cask approach gives the Yamazaki 18 Year Old its signature layers of fruit, spice, and sandalwood. As a result, it achieves a profile that is both rich and remarkably refined.

Rich, Balanced, and Exceptionally Smooth

Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky delivers opulent depth with elegant finesse. First, the nose reveals dried apricot, vanilla, and orange marmalade. Then, cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of sandalwood emerge with air. On the palate, flavors of plum, toffee, and dark chocolate unfold with grace. Subtle notes of green tea and roasted almond add complexity. Finally, the finish is long and contemplative—dried fruit, oak spice, and a hint of incense. Altogether, it captures the soul of this Yamazaki 18 Year Old.

A Discontinued Collector’s Essential

Suntory has significantly reduced age-stated releases, making the Yamazaki 18 Year Old increasingly rare. Therefore, it holds strong value for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Its iconic bottle and gold label make it a centerpiece in any Japanese whisky collection.
