Yamazaki
Yamazaki Smoky Batch The Second
A rare and refined take on Japanese smoke, Yamazaki Smoky Batch The Second offers a delicate departure from the distillery’s classic style. Crafted with a subtle inclusion of peated malt, this expression layers Yamazaki’s signature elegance with a nuanced wisp of smoke, never overwhelming but always present. Aromas of dried apricot, sandalwood, and faint charcoal rise gently from the glass, giving way to a palate of honeyed malt, toasted nuts, and smouldering oak. The smoke lingers softly on the finish, entwined with sweet spices and orchard fruit. Complex yet restrained, it’s a contemplative single malt that bridges tradition and quiet experimentation.
