SUNTORY YAMAZAKI GOLDEN PROMISE 2024 ED

The 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection features four boundary-pushing single malts from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries exploring artisanship through a diversity of making. The Yamazaki Golden Promise is a distinctive whisky that showcases the unique characteristics of its namesake barley varietal. First cultivated in Scotland during the 1960s, Golden Promise barley is highly esteemed for its exceptional flavor profile and superior malting properties. This special whisky combines the nuanced Yamazaki base with careful aging in American Oak casks, resulting in a spirit that boasts a malty and rich character, accentuated by sweet, fruity, and citrus notes. The whisky presents a beautiful barley gold color in the glass. On the nose, it offers a fragrant bouquet reminiscent of sweet malt, vanilla, and honey. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with delightful hints of orange marmalade and creamy custard. The experience concludes with a long-lasting finish that is both sweet and fruity, with lingering citrus notes that leave a memorable impression.
