Description
Suntory The Yamazaki ISLAY PEATED Tsukuriwake Selection Single Malt Japanese Whisky is an exceptional single malt whisky that combines the craftsmanship of Japan’s Suntory Distillery with the distinctive smoky and peaty flavours of Islay. This exclusive whisky is part of the Tsukuriwake Selection 2024, a limited edition collection that celebrates the different production methods and the influence of different cask types on whisky character. The Islay Peated Edition represents a true fusion between Japanese subtleties and the powerful peatiness of Islay, making it an absolute highlight for discerning whisky connoisseurs and collectors.
The Suntory Yamazaki ISLAY PEATED is matured in a mixture of sherry, bourbon and new oak casks. This creates an extraordinary complexity in which the intense peat flavours are harmoniously combined with fruity and woody notes. The whisky develops a finely tuned balance of smoky and floral flavours, which are given an unmistakable depth through the various maturation processes.
Tasting NoteColour: Golden amber with a slight copper sheen that reflects the elegance of this whisky.
Nose: A multi-layered aroma that begins with an intense peatiness and is accompanied by fresh citrus fruits, floral notes and a fine hint of wood and vanilla.
Taste: Full-bodied and balanced, with a distinctive smoky peat in the foreground, which combines with the complex fruity flavours of pear, peach and a subtle oak spiciness.
Finish: Langs and smooth, with a harmonious blend of peat flavours, woody notes and a delicate hint of sweetness that elegantly rounds off the finish.
Suntory The Yamazaki ISLAY PEATED is ideal for drinking neat or on ice to reveal the complex flavours in all their fullness. It harmonises perfectly with high-quality dishes such as smoked salmon, grilled meat, mature cheddar or smoked dishes. This whisky is also an excellent accompaniment to dark chocolate or a high-quality cigar, which emphasise the depth and complexity of the whisky.
