Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara 100th Anniversary was released in 2023 to mark a century of Suntory whisky. Shinjiro Torii founded the Yamazaki distillery in 1923 at the foot of Mt Tennozan, making it Japan's first malt whisky distillery, and this centenary bottling celebrates the oak most closely tied to Japanese whisky.The standard Yamazaki 18 is matured mainly in sherry oak. This edition is matured exclusively in casks of Mizunara, Japanese oak, for more than 18 years, and bottled at 48%. Trade coverage of the launch in mid-2023 listed it among a small set of limited centenary releases, alongside Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt.Tasting notes from SuntorySuntory describes a deep reddish amber whisky with sandalwood, coconut and incense on the nose. The palate opens on dark cherry, ripe peach, cinnamon and nutmeg, subtly spiced with an undertone of Japanese incense, and the finish is long and lingering with clove, sandalwood and dried coconut. Chief blender Shinji Fukuyo has said that after long maturation the aroma took on a gem-like brilliance. Suntory's listing also confirms the bottling qualifies under the Japanese industry standard for labelling a whisky as Japanese whisky.ServingAt 48% it is stronger than many 18-year-olds, so pour a modest measure, let it sit for a few minutes, then try a few drops of water to bring the sandalwood and coconut forward. A tulip nosing glass suits it.For collectorsThe bottle comes in centenary presentation packaging. If you plan to keep it sealed, store it upright, away from light and temperature swings, and keep the box in good condition. We make no claim about future value; buy it to enjoy or to mark an occasion.Related bottles: Yamazaki 25 Year Old, Hakushu 18 Peated Malt 100th Anniversary and the full Japanese whisky collection.Delivered Australia-wide.
