SMWS 119.12 (Yamazaki 16yo – Mizunara)
The Whisky Guy Podcast/Blog
A fantastic single malt single cask whisky, but although the label describes it as Chewy and cheek-sucking I disagree. I’ll be sending a sample to the first five people to email me.
ABV: 54.00%
Cask: Quercus mongolica — Mongolian Oak
Age: 16yo
nose: Light and sweet, with lots of orange marmalade and cigar smoked honeyed green apple. with a drop of water develops in to a Barbados rum and raisin cake. A little bit of Anise is hidden on the base note.
Palette: Smooth and sweet, washes over the tongue and fills the mouth. Gives up a little of the apple and tabacc, but the Anise and closes resonate on the back ot the palette.
Finish: Long and more-ish.
Body: Thick and sumptuous!
