The House of Suntory’s limited-edition Tsukuriwake Selection 2024 is a bold expression of The House of Suntory’s pioneering spirit. Suntory's 5th Generation Chief Blender, Shinji Fukuyo, has pushed the boundaries of whisky making with this series by using ingredients, wood, and processes that expand the previous Tsukuriwake range to showcase the diversity of whisky making.
This is the second iteration of the Tsukuriwake Series (pronounced soo-koo-ree-wah-keh), with the first selection released globally in 2022. The 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection features four expressions that combine the best of the Yamazaki and Hakushu Distilleries: Yamazaki Golden Promise, Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt, and limited-edition labels of Suntory's celebrated Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara and Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt.
Yamazaki Golden Promise is made from golden promise barley, a standout grain cultivated in Scotland in the 1960s. Distilled in Japan since 2009 and aged in American Oak casks, it delivers a maltier, richer Yamazaki profile. It’s perfect for more mature whiskies and has been added to Yamazaki 12 Year Old, imparting its deep and rounded flavour. Yamazaki Golden Promise offers a rich and full palate featuring notes of orange marmalade, custard and a sweet, lasting finish.
Islay Peat is often recognized as a distinctive character amongst scotch, with a softer and sweeter mouthfeel than Scotland’s mainland peat. The water and maturation process used to create Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt yields a balanced sweetness that complements the smoke, that adds complexity to the long enduring finish of Yamazaki. On the palate, it has a smooth sweetness of brown sugar with hints of bitter orange citrus and a warm, smokey finish.
Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara introduces a limited-edition label for Suntory’s flagship Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara, celebrating The House of Suntory's legacy of mastering Mizunara oak: a Japanese oak notoriously difficult to work with, but now known as a signature enhancer of Suntory whiskies. The complex, deep flavour of Mizunara gives depth to the multi-layered profile of Yamazaki. A long maturation period reveals its signature spiciness and incense-like sandalwood and aloe wood flavours that comprise this 100% Mizunara whisky. It offers subtly spiced orange notes and a long, lingering finish with hints of clove and dried coconut.
Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt introduces a limited-edition label for Suntory’s celebrated Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt. To honour the art of diverse blending at the Hakushu distillery, it enables The House of Suntory to produce more than 100 different malt whiskies and constant refinement of the Japanese peated malt whisky. The refined and elegant smokiness of Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt lends a refreshing quality to the liquid, evoking the essence of a serene forest. A lengthy maturation process in Hakushu's pristine and pure water reveals a distinct smokiness with spicy, peppery notes, deepening to unveil herbaceous minerals and ripe apple undertones.
