Yamazaki Puncheon Single Malt Whisky 2012 700ml

From Internet
Juicy fruits on the nose with a citrus kick, plus a few dried fruits thrown in as well. The palate develops stronger notes of vanilla with higher notes of summer fruit salad and a little spice at the back. The finish is reminiscent of limes and grapefruit with a little vanilla essence.

The Yamazaki distillery matured the whisky for this release in Puncheon casks, which much, much larger than your regular hogshead cask. A hoggie will hold 230 litres, whereas the mighty Puncheon holds 480 litres. What this means for this Yamazaki single malt Japanese whisky is that it matures in the Puncheon slower, allowing it to gently acquire flavour from the cask. This is the 2012 Yamazaki Puncheon release.
