There is a reason Suntory keeps winning awards after awards for its whiskies. Considered by many to be the best whisky in the world, the Yamazaki continues to sell like hot cakes. The Puncheon is an especially exiting bottle for Yamazaki fans, matured in a 480 litre puncheon cask, which is larger than your regular hogshead cask, and bottled at 48%, giving it a uniquely sweet aroma and flavor. This bottle is in one word incredible!
