Gold. A pleasant aroma of cherries, strawberries and Japanese oak. (Mizunara). The taste is reminiscent of raspberry, white peach and a hint of coconut. In the aftertaste sweet vanilla comes forward with a sigh of cinnamon. In Japan whisky is made since the mid 20-ies of the last century whisky. The great hero of Japanese whisky makers is Masataka Taketsuru who, around 1925, tarried in Scotland for a longer time to cheat the trick there. Yamazaki D.R. is a beautiful, mild, clean and fruity dram, great for summer evenings.
