There is a lot to like about Whisky Review: Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Selection Mizunara on paper. and $630,, let us see if it lives up to expectations.
The suggested retail price is $630, ABV of 48%. Joney and fresh melon, soft and sweet. There are light whiffs of grass and cut flowers. Behind the softness is oak and peat smoke rounding out the flavor. I found saltwater taffy with a hint of alcohol. This is pleasant to smell and doesnt overwhelm the sinuses at all. Another excellent component piece of Yamazaki. I found this one to be the most dramatic of the four whiskies. Although everything is matured, there are more notes with this whisky than any of the others. The Japanese oak is extremely different from other casks Ive tried, and it brought forward different sugars.rnrnPut together this is a unique expression and something very fun to drink. From peat to dessert, this whisky attempted to sample everything. Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by Whiskeyful or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it.
