Suntory Yamazaki Puncheon Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Crafted with prolific expertise and unveiled just prior to Suntory Whisky's 100th anniversary, the exclusive Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Selection stands as a coveted collection of Japanese whiskies, comprising four distinct variants: Puncheon, Peated Malt, Spanish Oak, and Mizunara. Among these, the Suntory Yamazaki 2022 Puncheon Single Malt Whisky takes the lead, serving as an introduction to this remarkable series. It matures exclusively within custom-crafted casks hewn from hand-picked American oak, boasting an impressive capacity of 480 liters—twice the size of a standard hogshead. This unique approach fosters a deliberate, intricate interaction with the spirits held within, resulting in a deeper and more gradual development of flavors.

The Tsukuriwake Selection stands as a testament to unparalleled mastery, offering a fresh perspective on artisan craftsmanship and the art of blending within each release from the House of Suntory. The aromatic bouquet greets the senses with evocative notes of persimmons, lush emerald foliage, crisp apples, and a hint of pepper. On the palate, a symphony of earthy tones, luscious honey, sumptuous caramel, sweet fruits, and a touch of spice unfolds, culminating in an experience that encapsulates the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship.
