Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Limited Edition Japan Single Malt Whisky 48.0% Vol. - a magnificent Yamazaki Japan Single Malt and Jim Murray's World Best Whisky 2015!
The excellent Suntory Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Limited Edition Single Malt Whisky is the 5th release in Yamazaki's world-famous Sherry Cask series, which was bottled in 2013 in a limited edition without the addition of colourants and chill-filtration at 48.0% vol.
The Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Japan Single Malt Whisky is made from only the finest and most original ingredients, making it a very special experience for the taste buds. Ingredients that are transformed into a wonderfully harmonious single malt during the skilful distillation process. Its soft water comes from the springs of the River Hakushu and the wood in which it matures was previously home to fine Spanish Olosoro sherry. On the palate, the deep bronze-coloured single malt whisky also shines with delightful fruity sherry and chocolate aromas, sultanas and ripe melons, which make it a very special experience for the taste buds and rightly received the coveted award as the best whisky in the world from Jim Murray in 2015. This special Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Limited Edition whisky is sold out worldwide, is one of the most sought-after bottlings from Suntory Yamazaki and is only occasionally available in special auctions at renowned auction houses such as Bonhams or Christies. Due to the high demand worldwide, Suntory now has problems bottling the sought-after and excellent sherry cask bottlings from the Yamazaki distillery, as the stocks of correspondingly old casks of excellent quality are almost exhausted.
The Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Japanese Single Malt Whisky was recognised by Jim Murray as the best whisky in the world in 2015: He praised the superb Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 Japan Single Malt Whisky as near genius, with one of exquisite boldness and the colour finish earning it an impressive 97.5 out of 100 points in the Whisky Bible. It is the first time a Japanese whisky has received the prestigious Whisky Bible award in its 11-year history. A unique single malt whisky that is virtually unavailable anywhere else in the world.
A wonderful piece of whisky history from the world-famous Yamazaki distillery and a rare expression from the magnificent Yamazaki Sherry Cask limited edition series for connoisseurs, discerning whisky collectors and lovers of exclusive single malt whiskies, which is now one of the most sought-after Japanese whiskies.
