(CELLAR DNS) YAMAZAKI 2016 SHERRY CASK SUNTORY WHISKY 750ML

Widely regarded as an improved version of the 2013 Yamazaki Sherry Cask release, which was subsequently named World Whisky of the Year 2 years later, the 2016 Yamazaki Sherry Cask Single Malt is an inspired and exceptionally crafted Japanese whisky. Beautifully appointed with a popular sherry cask finish, bottled at 96 proof, and with only 5,000 bottles released worldwide - this silky, sophisticated single malt is the definition of 'fine and rare'. Expect lavish hints of raisin, clove and cocoa on the nose, before the palate opens up with a deep, rich sherry aroma, subtle sweet and sour notes that perfectly complement chocolate and hazelnut notes. The finish is long and luxurious, with a mellow bittersweet sourness. A stunning, highly sought-after bottle from Suntory, and a must-have for any keen collector of Japanese whisky.
