The Yamazaki Bourbon Barrel 2011 Inaugural Release is a distinctive expression from Suntory’s celebrated Cask Collection, showcasing how maturation in American white oak bourbon barrels shapes the character of Japan’s most iconic single malt. Bottled at 48.2 percent, this release highlights bright and elegant flavours, with notes of vanilla, coconut and citrus zest supported by soft oak and a gentle sweetness. Introduced in 2011 as the inaugural bottling of its kind, it marked the beginning of a series that explored Yamazaki’s versatility through different cask types. Produced in limited quantities, the Bourbon Barrel 2011 remains a sought-after whisky that demonstrates the delicate balance between tradition, innovation and the subtle influence of oak in Japanese whisky making.
