Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve

Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve is a Japanese single malt whisky from Suntory’s Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s first and oldest malt whisky distillery. This no-age-statement expression is positioned as an accessible entry into Yamazaki’s house style, combining fruit-led aromas with components matured in American, Spanish and Japanese Mizunara oak, and meeting Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association standards for genuine Japanese whisky.

Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve is made as a single malt whisky from Yamazaki malt components. House of Suntory states that the Yamazaki range, including Distiller’s Reserve, uses carefully blended components aged in American, Spanish and Japanese Mizunara oak. Suntory Japan lists the regular bottle as 700ml at 43% ABV and highlights Mizunara cask malt and wine cask malt in the expression.

In the glass it shows a gold colour. The nose brings strawberry, cherry and Mizunara oak, leading into raspberry, white peach and a touch of coconut on the palate. The finish is clean and sweet, with vanilla and a light hint of cinnamon giving the whisky a polished, approachable close.

Serve Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve neat to focus on its fruit and Mizunara oak notes, with a little water to open the aroma, or as a refined highball. Its approachable fruit, vanilla and spice profile suits relaxed sipping, celebratory meals and gifting for drinkers exploring Japanese single malt whisky.
