Between 2014 and 2017, the Yamazaki Limited Edition bottlings stood as some of the most coveted annual releases in the world of Japanese whisky. With their limited quantities and precious, aged Yamazaki liquid inside, they were known for delivering exceptional quality, alluring appearance, and remarkable collectibility.
However, the perilous whisky shortage that followed soon after caused these beloved expressions to be set aside, making room for more readily available non-age statement (NAS) whiskies like the Essence of Suntory Volumes 3 and 4, as well as the recent Yamazaki Cask Finish releases.
Then, in 2021, Suntory breathed new life into the series with the highly anticipated release of the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2021, marking a triumphant return to the delight of whisky enthusiasts. The success of the 2021 edition was followed by the immensely popular Yamazaki Limited Edition 2022, further fueling excitement among whisky connoisseurs.
As you raise the glass, expect a delightful bouquet of pineapple, orange peels, and a gentle touch of nutmeg on the nose. The palate unfolds with a symphony of sweet honey, creamy coconut, and subtle hints of blueberry, creating a harmonious and luxurious tasting experience. The finale is nothing short of magnificent, as notes of vanilla, ginger, and a gentle wisp of smoke intertwine to leave a lasting impression.
Given the highly limited numbers for the first release, stocks of this extraordinary whisky are not expected to linger for long. To seize this extraordinary opportunity to savor the magic of the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2021, act swiftly and secure your bottle before it's too late. Embrace the delectable journey that awaits you with each pour, and relish in the culmination of Suntory's craftsmanship and dedication to the art of whisky-making.
