    I did a bit of research on this Yamazaki thing and from what I can gather Japan is a small town near the National Park of Rwanda. Diluting it to tolerable levels is preferred but if you want to do it correctly it's a two to one measure of fermented coconut water.

    I agree with you, I can't find Yamazaki whisky on any Indian website or newspapers. It is never served with Chicken Tikka Masala, and Lamb Tandoori. Definitely unheard of.

    If I am not mistaken it has been discontinued and is worth a LOT of money and will probably continue to do so.

    "didn't know Japan produced whiskeys." Like saying didn't know Ireland produced potatoes.

    (House of Suntory)They are the pioneers of japanese whiskey, they basically laid the ground work for establishing what a japanese whiskey actually is (much like the classification for things like Bourbon, scotch, etc)
    i think it was passed just recently 2021

    Hi I am from Malaysia.. all I know it’s very difficult to get this 18 years even in Japan. The price have been creeping up lately

    Hysterical with the 7 Up. But on a serious note and in your opinion, which Scottish Whisky could compare to this Yamazaki 18? Like comparing Lagavulin to Laphroaig for example, or is it too unique to compare to anything else? Thank you for the laugh Malt Activist 🥃😁👍🏼
    PS: I did see a guy comparing Macallan 18 vs Yamazaki 18.

    • @MaltActivist
      @MaltActivist  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question and I dont know if I have the answer to that right away. The Macallan 18 Sherry Oak is bit more oaky/cigar box vs the Yamazaki 18. In my opinion the Yamazaki 18 is a half decent whisky - I dont remember it being anything special when I first had it. I mean its nicely constructed and all that but it doesn't really set itself apart on flavor alone. If you like good sherried whiskies than Glendronach & Benromach would be my go to drams. And, of course, Edradour - my new favorite.

      @@MaltActivist ... thank you for your reply. I’m going to give those suggestions a try. I bought a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail this last weekend which I’m enjoying but nothing has beaten my number 1 which is the Lagavulin 16 😁👍🏼

    I’ve heard only rumors. Who ever gave you this must have sold their first born son lol. I think I have just enough left of the 12 year. I’ll have to try making a highball too. Cheers 👍🥃😁
