Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara 2025 Release: The Soul of Japanese Oak at Nestor Liquor
Experience a profound expression of Japanese luxury and craftsmanship with the Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara 2025 Release. As your preferred partner for the world's most sought-after spirits, Nestor Liquor is honored to present this exceptionally rare and limited single malt, a true masterpiece from the House of Suntory and Japan's oldest malt distillery.
This extraordinary 18-year-old whisky is aged exclusively in Mizunara oak, a rare and revered wood native to Japan. Mizunara, or "water oak," is notoriously difficult for coopers to work with but is cherished for the unique, ethereal character it imparts. The blenders at Suntory, who first began experimenting with this sacred oak in the 1940s, have perfected its use, creating a whisky that is the very essence of Japanese elegance.
The 2025 release is a testament to this mastery. This whisky is composed of meticulously selected malt whiskies, all aged for a minimum of 18 years in these prized Mizunara casks. Bottled at 48% ABV (96 Proof), it perfectly balances the deep, mature spirit with the oak's signature spice and incense.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A refined and complex bouquet. Rich notes of dark cherry and ripe peach emerge, beautifully accented by warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and the unmistakable, sacred aroma of Japanese sandalwood and incense.
Palate: A graceful and velvety mouthfeel. The palate unfolds with a delicate interplay of subtle spice, Japanese incense, and a gentle, profound sweetness.
Finish: Incredibly long, lingering, and contemplative. The finish is accented with notes of clove, more sandalwood, and a delicate hint of dried coconut that weaves in perfect harmony.
The Yamazaki 18 Year Mizunara is more than a whisky; it is a liquid embodiment of patience, precision, and the spirit of Japan. This is a true collector's centerpiece and a meditative sipping experience unlike any other.
This is an extremely allocated and rare release. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this pinnacle of Japanese whisky. Add a piece of Suntory's celebrated legacy to your collection.
