Middle of the pack
Right down the middle. Reviews and price both sit mid-pack. Whiskybase drinkers give it 84.4 across 105 ratings, vs. 83.7 for the typical japanese whisky (14 rated).
Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve is a non-age-statement single malt Japanese whisky from Suntory's Yamazaki Distillery, Japan's first whisky distillery. It is a blend of whiskies aged in American, Spanish, and ex-Bordeaux French oak casks, including some Mizunara (Japanese oak) cask whisky, delivering a well-balanced dram with vibrant fruit notes, gentle oak influence, and a touch of Mizunara spice.
