The Yamazaki Mizunara 18 Year Old 100th Anniversary Edition is a highly limited and prestigious Japanese single malt, released in celebration of the Yamazaki Distillery’s centennial.

This commemorative 100th Anniversary edition is matured exclusively in rare Mizunara oak casks for at least 18 years.

Mizunara, a native Japanese oak, is prized for its tight grain and its ability to impart delicate, incense-like aromas and complex spice. Bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a minimalist yet elegant design, this release showcases the refined depth and uniquely Japanese profile that defines Yamazaki.
