Delicate and Elegant. Pure gold in color with a nose of persimmon, honey, clove, candied orange, peach and vanilla, offering spiced wood, coconut, cranberry and butter on the palate. The finish is sweet, woodsy and long. Exhibits the characteristics of its religion - smooth, subtle and pristine.

The Matsui Peated Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Delicate and Elegant. Pure gold in color with a nose of persimmon, honey, clove, candied orange, peach, and vanilla, offering spiced wood, coconut, cranberry and butter on the palate. The finish is sweet, woodsy, and long. Exhibits the characteristics of its religion - smooth, subtle, and pristine. This is a medium-bodied whisky with the aromas of dried fruits and honey.
It has a delicate, mellow taste with a lingering, woody, dry finish. Aged in casks of three different kinds of oaks: American, Spanish, and Japanese. This gives Suntory Whisky its unique quality.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Clear dark golden with burnished gold highlights.
Aroma: Cinnamon, red apple, muscovado sugar and jasmine blossom.
Taste: Medium bodied and honeyed in style, this easy vanilla malt bursts with apple fruit and jasmine freshness but is made complex thanks to notes of candied orange peel, cinnamon and clove spice and balancing dusty cigarette ash and cedarwood dryness.
Aftertaste: Woody oxidized pineapple notes linger on the pleasant finish.
One of the first Japanese single malts to break into the UK market, Suntory's Yamazaki 12-Year-Old continues to impress with its well-balanced fruity sweetness, something that appeals to novice and experienced whisky drinkers alike.

About the Producer
Yamazaki is the first Japanese distillery established 1923. The distillery is situated in the vale of Yamazaki, an area of dense bamboo grooves at the foot of Mt. Tennozan outside Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital and stronghold of traditional Japanese culture.
The spiced wood arrives first then dried cranberries with a lasting muddle of orange marmalade and honey sweetness.
