Yamazaki Islay Peated - Tsukuriwake 2024 Edition

Part of the 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection, this is a Limited Edition of Islay Peated 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 Islay Peated Malt balances the smoky quality with a characteristic sweetness, borne from the unique water and maturation processes that define Yamazaki whisky. Islay peat imparts one of scotch whisky’s most distinctive flavours, venerated globally for its distinctive smokiness. This marriage of traditions is especially present on the nose, where gentle smoke meets a hint of biscuit.

    Nose:    Gently smoky with a hint of biscuit.

    Taste:    Smooth and sweet like brown sugar, followed by citrus of bitter orange.

    Finish:   Warm, slow and sweetly smoky.
