Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают выразительный, но не тяжёлый торфяной профиль с хересными нотами, фруктами и специями; мнения о балансе и финише расходятся.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как сочетание торфа и хереса: упоминаются дымные и торфяные ноты, хересная сладость, сливочность, кокос, марципан, апельсиновая цедра, фрукты сада, специи и перец. Несколько отзывов отмечают мягкость и лёгкость торфа, а также хорошую концентрацию при 43,0%., без водянистости. Нос описывают как фруктовый и свежий — яблоко, груша, дыня, цитрус, ваниль, сахарная глазурь, лёгкий торф и кожа; встречаются также слива, бекон, кофе, шоколад и пепел. Вкус характеризуют как маслянистый, фруктовый, с ванилью, специями, травами, дымом и хересом; отдельные отзывы говорят о молодости и простоте, другие — о богатстве и сложности.
Финиш описывают по-разному: от среднего до длинного, тёплого, с ванилью, торфом, дымом, древесными и травяными нотами, фруктами и солёным торфом; в части отзывов отмечают металлический или лекарственный оттенок, а также быстрое исчезновение хереса. Есть и заметно критические мнения: один отзыв называет вкус химическим и не стоящим цены, другой считает, что по качеству он не заслуживает высокой оценки, а ещё один критикует частоту лимитированных выпусков Suntory. При этом многие отзывы положительные: виски называют приятным, элегантным, сбалансированным, интересным и даже исключительным, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества.

Weak peat, salty taste, junk food nuance, soy sauce, slightly toffee, dark tannin and oak touch, in a good way it is unique, in a bad way it is ambiguous
Have both the Hakushu and Yamazaki Peated Spanish Oak bottles opened. The Hakushu received a 92 points for me. Let's see what the Yama has in store for us...

| Нос | 90 | Definitely some similarities between the two, but Yama doesn't have as much denseness and heaviness as the Hakushu. The Yama also is not as immediately aromatic. Still, I like the nose a lot. So smooth and pleasant. |
| Вкус | 91 | Young and simple, but delicious nonetheless! A beautifully crafted whisky by the folks at Suntory. It's not as complex as the Hakushu, but still a good mix of peat, cream frosting, coconuts. The sherry is not as pronounced here. Like the Hakushu, this is very creamy. In fact, the mouthfeel with both the Hakushu and Yamazaki is very impressive. So easy to drink. |
| Финиш | 89 | This is where it falters a bit. The flavors do not linger on in the palate as long or as pleasant as the Hakushu, and there's a bit of metallic and medicinal aftertaste. Still, I am very happy I got a bottle of the Yamazaki. Very enjoyable! The Hakushu is the one to get between the two in the Kogei Collection. These are available at some of the better international airports. I got mine at Changi in Singapore and Dubai. Hakushu is quite limited in Changi but available at Dubai. Yamazaki is definitely more prevalent between the two. |
I don't use this usually but this one is really "smooth" - really not bad

Thick sherry with light smoke make it even thicker, jammy and clean

? Nose: Bright, fresh citrus — mandarin & lemon zest. The unmistakable scent of an orchard in the rain — wet leaves, damp earth, fresh fruit. Clean, alive, and beautifully lifted.? Palate: Warm citrus zing upfront, followed by earthy, grounding depth. Gentle, nice heat on the throat. Soft, rounded orchard fruit — peach, apricot, green apple.? Finish: Lingering sweetness on the sides of the tongue — smooth, warm, and satisfying. No harshness, just lovely Yamazaki elegance.? With Water: Opens up beautifully — softer, brighter, richer aroma. Even more mellow, silky, and rounded. The citrus and orchard notes really bloom.✨ Overall: Elegant, balanced, and deeply evocative. Like walking through a rain-washed orchard in a glass. Perfectly matched the moment — cooling evening, fresh air, quiet reflection. Score: 89/100
little peated, but not be eligible to be scored more than 70

The Yamazaki is quite rich in flavor, with elegant peat, sweet and sour orange peel, and a long spice aftertaste.

I thinks Suntory has a madness for the money, Always releasing limited edition for almost monthly. It is just mimic for Tsukuriwake. Do not have a confusion for it.

Really bad. Tastes like chemical. Even worse than Yamazaki 12 but a higher price. Not worth
Aroma:Pronounced;Palate:88/100; Aftertaste:Med-Long.

The softest sherry peat
Quite an exceptional one, with complex flavours coming through from the Mizunara and Spanish oak blend

Delicious Yamazaki + sherry. Good price. (I paid $200 for this bottle.)

A decent smoky-peaty release, quite varied, not too deep, but with an interesting composition, which, however, initially simplifies in the direction of smoky-peaty tones as it develops, but is subsequently corrected by a coffee-chocolate sweetness.

It was a pleasant surprise; at 43.0% vol., it wasn't watery at all, with good concentration. The sherry was generously portioned, and the peat was cleverly interspersed throughout the tasting, only appearing at the aroma and finish, otherwise blending seamlessly with the body. It not only served as a highlight but also added a subtle glow to the rich sherry character, which is exactly the style I envision sherry peat should have.

| Нос | 90 | Sherry's sincerity is evident in the smoked plum, cranberry jam, milk chocolate, and the finishing touch of leather and moss-like peat—it's excellent. |
| Вкус | 89 | Sherry and a slightly oily body prevent this 43.0% vol. from being watery. Notes include cream, plum juice, coconut, raw nuts, metal, and leather. While it lacks a bit in terms of aroma complexity and doesn't deliver a climax on the palate, it is a solid wine. |
| Финиш | 88 | Medium to short, Sherry dissipated a little faster, leaving only metal and cold peat ash in the end. |
Sour plums, spent coffee, ashes, red jujubes, dark chocolate, very clean.

A wonderful, balanced and not at all watery whisky that drinks like nectar! On the nose I would confuse it with sherry Talisker. 23 23 22 22
