Some rituals simply cannot be hurried.

The Yamazaki Water Drop is a ritual of discovery. A few drops of water gently open the whisky, revealing new layers of aroma and flavor while reconnecting Yamazaki with the element that made it possible in the first place: water.

Drop by drop, the whisky opens. Puncheon cask sweetness first. A few more drops bring forward the spice and dried fruit of Spanish oak. A trace of smoke follows. By the last few drops, mizunara reveals its full depth and complexity, reminiscent of Japanese incense. A signature only found in Japanese oak.

How to enjoy: 
Pour two parts Yamazaki 12 Year Old into a whisky tasting glass. 
Use a water dropper or pipette to add water, one drop at a time.

Dropping recommendations:
1-4 drops for oakiness and sweetness
4-7 for spice and dried fruit
7-10 for a rising smokiness
10-13 for a multi-layered symphony, echoing mizunara’s depth
