The Yamazaki Peated 2020 Edition is a distinguished part of the Cask Series, celebrating the diverse capabilities of the Yamazaki distillery, Japan's oldest. This series highlights the unique elements that contribute to Yamazaki whisky, such as the specific casks used for maturation and the carefully selected malt. Inspired by Tsukuriwake, a philosophy of artisanal craftsmanship through diversity, this edition exemplifies the distillery's expertise. This 2020 edition features a meticulously chosen blend of peated malts, resulting in a sophisticated and smoky character. The palate reveals layers of earthy smoke, pineapple, yuzu, charred oak, and green herbs that persist in the finish. The peated malt offers subtle hints of sweet fruits and creamy caramel, distinguishing it from the less peaty standard Yamazaki offerings. A departure from the regular Yamazaki whiskies, this limited edition is matured solely in American oak barrels and hogsheads that previously contained the heavily peated component. This showcases Suntory's ability to transform the whisky's profile with precision, emphasizing the power and complexity of the smoky elements. Overall, the Yamazaki Peated 2020 Edition is a rare and exceptional expression from Yamazaki, delivering a unique and intricate smoky flavor profile that will captivate whisky aficionados.
