Yamazaki Mizunara 18 Year Old 2017
This 18 year old single malt from Japan’s Yamazaki distillery is aged exclusively in Mizunara oak casks – a rare and sought after species of oak which grows only in a few districts of Japan, central and northern China, Korea, eastern Mongolia and eastern Siberia. The result is an expression with an exquisite balance of subtlety, refinement and complexity, limited to just 1,000 bottles worldwide and presented in a case made from recycled Suntory casks.
A fragrant and oily top-note of aromatherapy oil and sandalwood on the nose, before mangoes and over-ripe bananas emerge. The palate is dry and nutty overall with rich walnut and nutmeg.

The nose is delicate with floral aromas and some vanilla to the fore. The influence of the wood is then revealed with notes of sweet spices and pastries. On the palate, subtle notes of caramelised cereals, raisin and vanilla emerge, before hazelnut and sweet spices in the long finish.
The king of the Macallan 1824 series – this is the top whisky in this range of non-age statement single malt whiskies. This ‘jewel in the crown’ is a Ruby, with the darkest hue having spent the longest time in only the very finest sherry casks. The colour has been taken on naturally with no artificial colouring, and is a direct reflexion of the quality of this incredible Macallan expression.
One of the 2017 Special Releases from Diageo, this Lowland single grain whisky was distilled at the Port Dundas distillery in Glasgow in 1964. Matured for more than half a century in refill American oak hogsheads, this is the oldest Special Release to date, with only 752 bottles available worldwide at a strength of 44.6% abv.
