Part of the Tsukuriwake Selection, this limited-edition single malt takes heavily peated malt — a hallmark of Islay whisky making — and filters it through Yamazaki's fruit-driven house style. The result is a 700 ml bottling at 48% ABV that holds smoke and orchard-fruit sweetness in steady balance rather than letting either side dominate.
Gentle peat smoke opens the nose, followed by biscuit, vanilla and dried apricot. The palate turns toward brown sugar, caramel and bright citrus, while the finish runs long and warm as the smoke recedes and spice and oak sweetness settle in. A Japanese reading of a classic Scottish style, built for drinkers who want layered whisky.
The Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700mL
Elegant peat smoke leads into biscuit, vanilla, and dried apricot, unfolding into a smooth palate of brown sugar, caramel, and citrus, and finishing long and warm with softly fading smoke, spice, and oak sweetness.
