Yamazaki Limited Edition 2023

The 2023 edition of Suntory's annual Yamazaki Limited Edition series, again drawing on whisky matured in virgin Mizunara oak for the distillery's most aromatic, incense-like character.

Tropical pineapple and orange meet warm nutmeg on the nose, developing creamy coconut and subtle florals from the Mizunara oak; the palate is full-bodied with honey, vanilla, ginger and blueberry, finishing with a warming ginger note and a faint wisp of smoke.
