Yamazaki Bourbon Cask 2013 – Single Malt Japanese Whisky
From the same vintage as the legendary Sherry Cask 2013 that Jim Murray crowned Best Whisky in the World, the Yamazaki Bourbon Cask 2013 offers a fresher, more delicate interpretation of Yamazaki’s artistry. Aged in ex-bourbon casks, this release reveals a charming balance of soft sweetness and creamy elegance, making it a captivating counterpoint to the intensity of its Sherry-aged sibling.
Celebrated in both The 1001 Whiskies You Must Try Before You Die and Ian Buxton’s 101 World Whiskies to Try Before You Die, this bottling has earned its place among the modern greats. Tasting notes describe a “delicious mix of soft mint toffee and banana toffee with lashings of creamy vanilla” – utterly charming, utterly irresistible, and uniquely Yamazaki.
With its elegant structure and limited availability, the Bourbon Cask 2013 remains one of the distillery’s most collectible releases, a must-have for enthusiasts seeking the breadth of Yamazaki’s cask maturation expertise.
