Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara

From the oldest whisky distillery in Japan, Suntory Yamazaki, comes a monumental release: Meet the Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara, officially launching in August 2025 as the oldest and most refined expression of Mizunara-matured whisky ever offered by the House of Suntory.

This release is more than a whisky.
It’s a cultural artifact — a once-in-a-generation collectible that celebrates the artistry, time, and mystique behind Japanese oak maturation.

Why Mizunara?

Mizunara, Japan’s indigenous oak, is notoriously difficult to work with — requiring over 200 years to mature before it can be used to craft a barrel. Its high moisture content, porous nature, and low tyloses make it prone to leakage and splitting. But after decades of patient aging, it produces aromas and flavors found nowhere else in the whisky world.

Suntory’s mastery over Mizunara began in the 1940s and continues to this day — culminating in the creation of this ultra-aged expression.

🥃 Tasting Notes – Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara

Color: Amber with reddish hues
Nose: Sweetness of apricot compote, cacao latte smoothness, and spiciness reminiscent of nutmeg and cardamom
Palate: A bittersweet, spicy experience with notes of orange zest and nuances of cream
Finish: Deep woodiness from Mizunara oak, unfolding into bittersweet hints of oriental herbal medicine

This unique profile reveals the full maturation potential of Mizunara — intense yet elegant, ethereal yet grounded.

A Symbol of Yamazaki’s Soul

This release is not just a cask finish or limited run — the Yamazaki 25 Mizunara is now part of the Core Mizunara Series, a newly established foundation in Yamazaki’s lineup that places Mizunara whisky at the spiritual center of its identity.

As noted in Suntory’s announcement:
“Mizunara cask whisky serves as the core that unifies the multi-layered taste of Yamazaki.”

Crafted from a blend of diverse and meticulously aged whiskies — all matured in Mizunara casks — the 25 Year Old reveals the sandalwood, coconut, and smouldering incense notes that are only possible after two and a half decades in this legendary wood.
