One of the most difficult to source age statements in the Japanese pantheon is this ultra rare 25 year old Yamazaki. Since it was awarded World’s Best Single Malt in 2012 at the World Whiskies Awards, it's continued to pick up accolades. Jim Murray comments, "Being matured in Japan, the 25 years doesn't have quite the same value as Scotland. So perhaps in some ways, this can lay claim to be one of the most enormously aged, oak laden whiskies that has somehow kept its grace and star quality."

By all reports, the incredibly deep sienna brown colour is indicative of some profound Oloroso sherry input. Prolific whisky taster, Serge Valentin of whiskyfun.com has experienced multiple bottlings and has never failed to be impressed, commenting, "No other malt I know is as excessive as this baby in this ultra-heavy sherried style."

You’ll rarely see it on the market, let alone on a back bar. One only to sell. 43% Alc./Vol.
