SA "The Yamazaki" Single Malt Distiller's Reserve Suntory Whisky

Description

A flagship expression from the Yamazaki distillery, Distiller’s Reserve is a remarkably refined single malt, crafted to showcase Suntory’s heritage and expertise. Aged in American oak, sherry, and mizunara casks, it strikes a delicate balance between red fruits, spicy notes, and precious wood. The nose is dominated by strawberry and cherry, while the palate delivers a silky texture with hints of vanilla, sandalwood, and a subtle wisp of smoke. A perfect introduction to Yamazaki’s signature style, blending tradition and modernity.
