Why the 2011 cask series are tasted so dry? I asked Mr. Koshimizu Seiichi, the chief blender, when I visited Yamazaki distillery. He told me it's because of the selection of casks. And he did not join the selection this time. It's another chief blender did it(the new one). However, when he asked me how do I feel about the Mizunara cask? I told him it remains consistent and still very attractive and enjoyable, then he smile..

I believe that the new style of Yamazaki is coming in the near future, unless :)

Bonus also at K6
