The Yamazaki Sherry Cask Whiskey
Even though it's been a staple of the Suntory Whiskey portfolio for nearly a century, sherry and Spanish Oak flavors can easily overpower a whiskey. The Yamazaki Sherry Cask Whiskey has always managed a delicate balance, in large part due to the expert guidance of Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo. For the 2016 vintage, Fukuyo has once again selected casks that bring out the complex flavors that helped the 2013 vintage be named World Whiskey of the Year. And this year's 5,000 bottles use the same lot of whiskies that the 2013 vintage used for its base, suggesting another batch of awards may be in its future.
