The world famous bottle was released on Monday, February 1, 2016, and people are, in one word, ecstatic!

Bottled at 48%, the difference between this and the 2013 version is mainly the fact that the youngest whisky in the blend has been aged for two more years, and that's never hurt a blend thus far! Grab it while it's still here.\n\nThe Yamazaki Sherry Cask release stands at the top end of Yamazaki's line of Japanese Single Malts, ahead of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/store\/yamazaki-18-year-old\/\"\u003eYamazaki 18 Year Old\u003c\/a\u003e while remaining more reasonably priced than the elusive \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/store\/yamazaki-50-year-old\/\"\u003eYamazaki 50 Year Old\u003c\/a\u003e release.\n\nThe fact that there's no age statement on this hotly anticipated Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 does not matter one bit; the bottling is truly exceptional. The 2016 release largely consists of the 2013 blend with two more years of aging, as well as some other choice malts aged up to 25 years. The blend is married in casks that previously held Olorso sherry for three years, bringing forth distinctive notes of raisins, clove and chocolate, cut with a slight bitterness.\n\nJapanese Whisky is much similar to Scotch, so it is quite similar to Scottish single malts aged in sherry casks. But even at a robust 96 proof, the Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2016 remains elegant and refined.
