The Yamazaki 18 is an outstanding, award-winning single malt whisky that every scotch enthusiast should try…if you can find it. It is very much like a scotch, but from it’s from the Suntory distillery in Japan which has a history of it’s own. For those unfamiliar with this whisky, it is similar to a speyside…sweet malt, cereal,and sherry come through with vanilla and a hint of smoke. Try a small sip “neat” without water so you can taste it’s relationship to scotch.

Sure send us a sample. But I think you are wrong about Casamigos, it’s a solid tequila for a very specific segment of the tequila market.
