Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Yamazaki 1984

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 48%

Score: 88 Points

This whisky was released to celebrate Suntory’s 25th anniversary of Yamazaki single malts, and the use of Japanese oak casks make it a very interesting dram. The appearance is coppery, thick, and oily, and the nose is spicy and woody with notes of malt, baking bread, and is slightly nutty. The taste has intense spices at first, which fade to reveal sweet notes of molasses and black cherries. The finish is short and slightly tart.
