Pioneer of the first-class Japanese Whiskey. The Yamazaki 12 Years was awarded Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2013. While for the ones, it's a mild and elegant drink, for the others, it shows depth and a smooth character. Anyway, the The Yamazaki 12 Years is one of the best recommendations in the world of whiskies. And you'll best enjoy this Premier Single Malt from Kyoto, Japan's former capital, pure, on ice or with soda water. It seems a little bit too good for cocktails.
