An exceptional limited-edition Japanese single malt, The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara Oak 2025 Edition celebrates the distinctive character of Japan’s legendary Mizunara oak and the craftsmanship of the historic Yamazaki Distillery.
Matured for a minimum of 18 years, this prestigious expression places Mizunara oak at the heart of its character. Revered for the singular aromatic qualities it imparts to whisky, Mizunara contributes an unmistakably Japanese profile of sandalwood, incense and exotic spice, beautifully integrated with Yamazaki’s elegant fruit-driven style.
The palate is remarkably refined and complex, revealing layers of dark cherry, ripe fruit, warming spice and subtle sweetness, followed by the fragrant woody depth and incense-like character associated with mature Mizunara oak. Bottled at a robust 48% ABV, it delivers exceptional concentration while retaining remarkable balance and finesse.
Released as part of The House of Suntory’s 2025 Tsukuriwake Series, this 18-year-old Mizunara expression represents the extraordinary skill required to mature whisky in one of the world’s most challenging and highly prized oak varieties.
A magnificent expression of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, combining age, rarity and the unmistakable elegance of Mizunara oak. An exceptional addition to any serious collection of Yamazaki or prestigious Japanese single malts.
