Yamazaki Mizunara Cask 2013 – Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Released as part of the celebrated 2013 Cask Collection – the very same series that included the legendary Sherry Cask crowned Best Whisky in the World by Jim Murray – the Yamazaki Mizunara Cask 2013 stands as one of the rarest and most captivating Japanese whiskies ever bottled. Limited to just 1,600 bottles, this release represents the final chapter of the famed Cask Collection series.

Aged exclusively in native Japanese Mizunara oak, this whisky offers a uniquely oriental profile defined by sweet, spicy, and perfumed aromas, leather, sugared almonds, and woody incense. On the palate, it unfolds in waves of butterscotch, mocha, coconut, and spicy raisin, while the finish lingers with sandalwood, chocolate, and delicate aromatic spices. It is both elegant and powerful – a spirit unlike any other.

Awarded an extraordinary 97 points in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, this expression has been hailed as “a very special whisky of very high quality” and a malt worthy of treasuring as long as one can afford it. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after Yamazaki bottlings, a masterpiece of Mizunara maturation and Japanese whisky artistry.
