Yamazaki Whisky 12 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

When I was a boy, my father used to make this remark from time to time, in response to noticing something that he found surprisingly expensive. It isn’t that he is a stupid man; he is actually quite clever and enjoyed a long career as a physician. It isn’t that he didn’t understand inflation; his early working years were during the miserable 1970s, when the Consumer Price Index hit a blistering +12% year-over-year rate.

The tasting experience of the Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve begins with a fruity nose, where notes of papaya blend harmoniously with hints of cinnamon, sandalwood, and cherry cola. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Yet, that’s exactly what I did when I was presented with this whisky (or rather, the concept of this whisky). My friend and neighbor Matt Kusek texted me that his local store had a bottle, and asked if it were any good. I responded “It’s nothing special, particularly for the price they are charging now.”

The influence of the Bordeaux casks imparts a dry sensation, contributing to the overall experience. However, Matt did not heed my aforementioned advice. Having made his excuses about “owing it to the store,” he bought the bottle which we will be reviewing together today. Though I now think a little less of his intellectual faculties (j/k, pal), I am nonetheless grateful for his continued friendship and generosity. The Yamazaki Aged 12 Years – Taylor’s Review Here, I’ve immersed myself in the art of crafting Mezcal, gaining a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into distilling this ancient spirit. I know exactly what you’re saying about our perception of price and I use your father’s barometer all the time. It keeps me grounded into my sense of worth. I think I’ve told you that my wife is Spanish and in Spain people over a certain age still judge value by the peseta and not the euro. They know when something really isn’t worth it. I think we’ve had this conversation about Weller 12 in the past.

These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits.
