Yamazaki 1999 13 years old Cask no

ULTIMATE YAMAZAKI OWNERS CASK Bottled by the Distillery for the Distillery A Legacy in Spanish Oak In the world of Japanese whisky, 1999 is a vintage of quiet transition. Before the global "Japanese Whisky Boom" reached its fever pitch, the artisans at Yamazaki were perfecting the art of Sherry maturation. This bottle, aged for 13 years, eschews the standard blending process, offering an unadulterated, cask-strength experience that captures the "Soul of Yamazaki." While most Yamazaki expressions are masterfully blended to achieve a consistent profile, this Single Cask is a defiant outlier. It showcases the raw power of the Spanish Oak Sherry Butt, a cask type that contributes the deep, mahogany hue and rich, dried-fruit intensity that has made Yamazaki's Sherry Cask series some of the most expensive and sought-after whiskies in history. Tasting Profile & Characteristics The accompanying distillery card provides a rare glimpse into the specific sensory profile of Cask DV70209: • Color: Reddish brown (赤みがかった茶褐色), a hallmark of long-term Sherry maturation. • Nose: A sophisticated medley of dried fruits, apricot, and dark chocolate. • Palate: A balanced play between sweetness and tartness (甘酸っぱさ), underpinned by a subtle, pleasant bitterness (ほろ苦さ). • Finish: A long, lingering finish with a delicate, faint sweetness that stretches across the palate. Condition & Presentation: This lot includes the original wooden-style presentation box and the official distillery certificate, critical components for maintaining the bottle’s investment value.
