Yamazaki did not release a limited edition for 2018 despite the huge popularity of these releases from 2015 to 2017.
Yamazaki 12 year old discontinued.
This is aged for 12 years in three different barrels ex bourbon ex.
There s simply not enough aged stock on hand to produce that 8 year old bourbon or 12 year old scotch today while ensuring there s some left for tomorrow.
The yamazaki 12 year old japanese whisky sample was provided to me by my good friend matt from the whiskey dude youtube channel.
Suntory the owner of yamazaki and a number of other leading japanese whiskies has discontinued its hibiki 17 year old which would have devastated bill murray s character in lost in translation and the hakushu 12 year old single malt.
This 12 year old first came onto the market in 1984 and was the first seriously marketed japanese single malt whisky.
Suntory says its 12 year old hakushu and 17 year old hibiki whiskies are being discontinued due to supply constraints following a years long boom in popularity.
And yamazaki 12 is also out of stock.
