LIQUOR LINEUP DESCRIPTION:
Dive into the exquisite fusion of East and West with the Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey. This unique limited-edition release starts as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon, which after eight years of aging in Kentucky, is then finished and blended at the historic Yamazaki Distillery in Japan. This innovative collaboration between Fred Noe, the Seventh-Generation Master Distiller of James B. Beam Distilling Co., and Shinji Fukuyo, the Fifth-Generation Chief Blender of Suntory Whisky, showcases a groundbreaking blend of two esteemed whiskey traditions.
Key features of Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey include:
-Cask Influence: The bourbon is matured in French Oak wine casks and Spanish Oak sherry casks, with a final finish in rare Spanish Oak casks previously used for Suntory’s flagship Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky. This process introduces rich notes and a vivid spiced finish.
- Flavor Profile: The complex layering of the casks imbues the bourbon with a full-bodied malty depth, complemented by bright, smooth flavors and a distinctly long finish marked by hints of spice.
- Craftsmanship and Innovation: This release epitomizes the blending mastery of Suntory’s techniques with classic American bourbon crafting, creating a truly unique whiskey.
Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish is a testament to a century of Japanese craftsmanship and innovation, a perfect choice for those looking to explore a bourbon with international flair and exceptional depth
