Yamazaki Golden Promise - Tsukuriwake 2024 Edition

Part of the 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection, this is Golden Promise - a Limited Edition Japanese Single Malt from Yamazaki distillery. Tsukuriwake is a creative exploration of the diverse whisky making techniques handed down by generations of chief blenders at Suntory Whisky. The 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection features four boundary-pushing Single Malts from the Yamazaki Distillery and Hakushu Distillery exploring artisanship through a diversity of making.
The Yamazaki Golden Promise is composed from Golden Promise barley. First grown in Scotland in the 1960s, this varietal is revered for its flavour and malting characteristics. Combined with aging in American Oak casks, the nuances of the Yamazaki base are accentuated through a malty and rich character, with sweet, fruity and citrus notes.

    Nose:    Reminiscent of a fragrance with sweet malt, vanilla and honey.

    Taste:    Rich and full with hints of orange marmalade and custard.

    Finish:   Sweet and fruity with citrus, long and lasting.

Since 1923, Suntory has pioneered the Art of Japanese Whisky. The creation and innovation unique to Suntory Whisky is revered among whisky lovers worldwide.
The Yamazaki Whisky is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, from Japan’s first and oldest malt distillery. With a range of options from Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve to 12, 18, and 25 years old, all of these prized whiskies contain carefully blended components aged in American, Spanish, and Japanese Mizunara oak.
