The Essence of Suntory Whisky: Yamazaki Peated Malt
Single Malt
Yamazaki // Japan
RARE
The Essence of Suntory series launched in Japan on February 27th, 2018. Each of the three bottles in the series features modern, artistic label designs and unique flavor profiles, very different to anything Suntory has released to date.
The Yamazaki Peated Malt is unusual, as the distillery has rarely released peated expressions throughout the years. Distilled in 2005, it was bottled in 2018 after 12 years of maturation.

Tasting Notes
"Smoke comes through gently on the nose as if there's a fire burning in the distance. Some fruit aromas, (blackberries, cassis, and some sour citrus) lead to the palate, where the smoke builds, joined by cinnamon and cake spice. The palate remains light, allowing the peat to create a fresh earthiness, which lingers through the medium finish. "
