Other reviews...Though there is a little blemish at the very death, there is still no taking away from this being a sublime 25 year old. When this distillery is on form it makes for compelling whisky and here we have a bottling showing Yamazaki at its brightest. 48%Alc./Vol. 94 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2015

...The first vintage Suntory Yamazaki offered in the U.S. A portion of this whisky is aged in Japanese oak. Heavy aroma, with lush sherried fruit and deep juicy oak, marrying with firmly dry and spicy oak resin (the Japanese oak influence is obvious). This same profile follows through on the palate: ripe berried fruit, raisin, blackberry jam, plum spiced with cinnamon, vanilla spearmint, roasted nuts and gripping leather. All this, lying on a bed of molasses and toffee. The Japanese oak really kicks in on the invigoratingly spicy, warm, resinous finish. Quite elderly in nature, but remains very exciting and dynamic, even with all the oak. 90 points  - www.maltadvocate.com, (Winter 2009) Reviewed by: John Hansell
