Yamazaki Islay Peated Tsukuriwake Selection 2024 is a limited Suntory release exploring the impact of Islay peat within Yamazaki's sweeter and more delicate house style. Rather than aiming for heavy smoke, it focuses on balance between gentle peat, sweetness and citrus lift
From the Producer
Tsukuriwake (pronounced soo-koo-ree-wah-keh) means "artisanship through a diversity of making," and the 2024 Tsukuriwake Series from The House of Suntory, curated by 5th Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, spotlights ingredient selection, peat and cask across four expressions from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries. Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt uses Islay peat, recognized for a softer and sweeter mouthfeel than Scotland's mainland peat, combined with Yamazaki's own water and maturation process to yield a balanced sweetness that complements the smoke and adds complexity to the whisky's long finish.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Gentle smoke with a hint of biscuit
