Yamato Cask Strength Special Edition is a Japanese whisky bottled at 43% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour.
It is a blend of whiskies aged roughly three to eight years.
It shows sweet malt and cereal with maple, vanilla, cedar and lemon peel.
The heavy, faceted glass decanter is wrapped with a gold rope at the neck and labelled with Yamato's red calligraphy.
Yamato is known for its Mizunara-finished whiskies, several of which we already carry; the Special Edition shows the house style in a richer, unfiltered form. It is a handsome gift for a Japanese whisky fan.
