Yamazaki 18 Year Old is a profound and unforgettable blend of mature spirits aged over 18 years in sherry casks. The full body resulting from this long aging process creates a rich and captivating palate, making it a renowned and exceptional spirit known for its stunning maturity. The sweet dried fruit and rich chocolate flavors released during sherry cask aging are particularly memorable. The mature flavors and deep finish of the spirit aged in Mizunara casks linger long after the initial aging process. This vintage was produced in 1984, the 60th anniversary of the Yamazaki Distillery. It is crafted from carefully selected spirits aged over 18 years from malt spirits that have matured through the four seasons at the Yamazaki Distillery, resulting in a mellow flavor with a slightly fresh and elegant aroma of aged casks. It won a gold medal at the 2003 ISC International Spirits Competition.
