Key Features (Production Method & Background)

• Yamazaki 12 Year Old (Suntory): A flagship product born at the Yamazaki Distillery, the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Multiple types of aged spirits from white oak, sherry, and Mizunara casks are vatted to create a multi-layered and complex aroma and flavor.
• Glen Grant Explosions No. 1 (Glen Grant Distillery): Established in 1840, it is a leading brand in Speyside. It is the only distillery in Speyside that carries out all processes from barley cultivation to bottling on its estate. This product is the first in a limited series created by the new Master Distiller, Greig Stables. It is finished in high-quality Caribbean rum casks after being aged in bourbon casks.

Flavor and Aroma Characteristics

• Yamazaki 12 Year Old: Fruity aromas reminiscent of ripe persimmons and peaches, with sweet and complex notes of agarwood and vanilla from Mizunara casks. It is characterized by a deep sweetness and a long, lingering finish.
• Glen Grant Explosions No. 1: The malting process does not use peat to dry the malt, resulting in a unique lightness. You will notice aromas of orange and ripe banana. It has gentle spice, vanilla, and tropical fruit flavors, with fresh pineapple and a long, creamy finish.

Recommended Ways to Enjoy (Pairings, etc.)

For Yamazaki 12 Year Old, we recommend enjoying it straight or with a splash of water (Twice Up) to fully appreciate its delicate aroma. It pairs exceptionally well with Japanese dashi broth, soy sauce-based dishes, and dark chocolate.
For Glen Grant, enjoy it straight or on the rocks to highlight its tropical flavors from the Caribbean rum casks. It creates a wonderful marriage with dried fruits, nuts, and vanilla ice cream.
