Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016

Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 is a limited edition single malt Japanese whisky released by Suntory, one of Japan’s leading whisky distilleries. This whisky is a highly sought-after release among collectors and whisky enthusiasts due to its rare availability.

Suntory’s Yamazaki distillery is located in a valley surrounded by forested mountains, producing some of the finest whiskies in Japan. The Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 is created using a blend of aged whiskies that have been matured in Spanish oak casks previously used for sherry. The sherry casks play a key role in imparting unique flavors and characteristics to the whisky, resulting in a rich and complex taste profile.

The Yamazaki Sherry Cask is amber in color with a nose of dried fruit, spices, and caramel. On the palate, the whisky is rich and full-bodied with notes of figs, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. The finish is long and smooth with lingering flavors of toffee and raisins.

This limited edition release was highly praised by whisky critics, winning the World Whisky of the Year Award in 2015, making it the first Japanese whisky to receive this prestigious title. The whisky has been difficult to find since its initial release due to the high demand and limited supply.

The Yamazaki Sherry 2016 is typically sold as a collector’s item, with prices ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 per bottle. Its rarity and unique taste profile make it a highly coveted whisky among collectors and enthusiasts alike. If you have the chance to try this whisky, it is highly recommended as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
