Aged for a minimum of 12 years in a combination of American oak, Spanish oak, and rare Japanese Mizunara casks, it delivers a character that is distinctly Japanese yet unlike anything else in the whisky world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose you get ripe peach, pineapple, and a gentle waft of coconut, followed by notes of vanilla and a whisper of Mizunara incense. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with honeyed fruit, a touch of cinnamon spice, and a long, clean finish that lingers with soft oak and dried apricot. At 43% ABV it has enough weight to reward sipping neat or over a single large ice cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a whisky that won the World Whisky of the Year title in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible and has since become one of the most sought-after bottles in the world. If you have been curious about \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/japanese-products\"\u003eJapanese spirits and premium Japanese products\u003c\/a\u003e, this is the one to start with. The 70cl bottle is the standard European format, distributed by Beam Suntory and produced in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Serve and Enjoy Yamazaki 12 Year Old\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese have long championed the Highball as the definitive way to drink whisky, and Yamazaki 12 rewards that treatment beautifully. Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice, pour a generous measure, and top with chilled sparkling water at roughly a 1:3 ratio. Stir gently once and garnish with a thin slice of lemon peel. The carbonation lifts the fruity top notes and makes it extraordinarily refreshing alongside food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat or with a few drops of still water is equally rewarding if you want to explore the full complexity. It pairs well with grilled salmon, miso-glazed aubergine, or a simple cheese board. For a Japanese-inspired dinner, serve it alongside dishes from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/japanese-sauces\"\u003eJapanese sauces and condiments range\u003c\/a\u003e or use it as a base for a whisky sour with yuzu juice in place of lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are building a home bar or gifting, Yamazaki 12 sits comfortably alongside other premium \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/japanese-snacks\"\u003eJapanese food and drink\u003c\/a\u003e and makes an impressive centrepiece for any occasion.
