Yamazaki islay peat tsukuriwake

The Tsukuriwake selection of 2024 features four groundbreaking single malts from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, exploring craftsmanship through a variety of production techniques.
Tsukuriwake is a creative exploration of the diverse whisky production techniques that have been passed down for generations by master blenders at Suntory Whisky. Our blenders orchestrate every step of the whisky production process, creating stunning new flavor profiles. The selection of raw ingredients, peat levels, and the fermentation, distillation, and maturation techniques are expertly balanced to explore the full range of expressions of what a single malt—and Japanese whisky—can be. Islay peat provides one of the most distinctive flavors in Scotch whisky, globally renowned for its characteristic smokiness. Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt combines this smoky quality with a distinctive sweetness, resulting from the unique water and maturation processes that define Yamazaki whisky. This combination of traditions is especially present on the nose, where gentle smoke meets a hint of biscuit.
