Yamazaki - Golden Promise 2024 Edition - Suntory - 70cl

Tsukuriwake Golden Promise 2024 Edition
The 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection is a remarkable whisky from Suntory's latest Tsukuriwake collection, designed to celebrate the diversity and craftsmanship of Japanese whisky.

The whisky is made from Golden Promise barley, a special grain first grown in Scotland in the 1960s. This type of barley is known for its rich and malty character, which is evident in this whisky.
The Yamazaki Golden Promise is matured in American oak casks, resulting in a complex and full flavour profile.
