Yamazaki Puncheon 2013 Edition

Description

The Yamazaki Puncheon 2013 Edition is part of the celebrated Yamazaki Wood Collection, highlighting the influence of large-format oak casks on Japanese single malt whisky. Matured in 480-litre puncheon casks, previously used for bourbon, this NAS release bottled at 48% ABV showcases balance, elegance and precision. On the nose, it offers gentle lemon notes, exotic spices, oak, vanilla and honey, with a subtle hint of balsamic character. The palate emphasizes the oak influence with spices, citrus, vanilla and soft wood tones, accompanied by a lightly sparkling mouthfeel and medium-light sweetness. The finish is fresh and refined, reminiscent of a well-crafted whisky sour – citrus-driven, creamy and medium in length. The Yamazaki Puncheon 2013 Edition is a refined expression for enthusiasts seeking a cask-forward yet harmonious Japanese whisky.
