These large casks - approximately 480 liters, allow malt whiskies to mature slowly, imbuing them with a complexity and vibrance. They impart their subtle notes essential to the delicate base of the Yamazaki Single Malt.

Nose - Green apple, mature pear, acacia honey with hint of vanilla

Palate - Clean, velvety and mild, with delicate butterscotch notes

Finish - Oaky woodiness with subtle sweetness
