The Yamazaki Islay Peated 2024 Edition Japanese Whisky is a limited-release single malt that explores the interplay of Japanese whisky craftsmanship with the bold, smoky character of Islay peat. Made with imported peat from Scotland’s Islay region, this whisky combines the robust smokiness typically associated with Islay Scotch with Yamazaki’s signature sweetness and finesse.

Key tasting notes include:

Nose: A gentle smokiness complemented by hints of biscuit.
Palate: Smooth and sweet flavors of brown sugar and bitter orange citrus.
Finish: Warm and lingering with sweet, smoky undertones.
This expression is part of Yamazaki’s “Tsukuriwake Selection,” showcasing innovation and artistry in Japanese whisky-making.

The 2024 release emphasizes the blending of diverse whisky-making traditions, creating a balanced and distinctively Japanese interpretation of a smoky single malt. It appeals to collectors and enthusiasts due to its limited availability and unique flavor profile.
