Yamazaki Tsukuriwake 2024 Golden Promise 48% NV

Professional reviews

BOW (89.50)

The Yamazaki Golden Promise is crafted using Golden Promise barley, a variety first cultivated in Scotland during the 1960s. This barley is highly regarded for its distinctive flavor and malting qualities. When combined with aging in American Oak casks, it enhances the inherent qualities of the Yamazaki base, resulting in a whisky with a malty and rich character that features sweet, fruity, and citrus notes.

The whisky has a barley gold color. On the nose, it offers a fragrance reminiscent of sweet malt, vanilla, and honey. The palate is rich and full, with flavors of orange marmalade and custard. The finish is sweet and fruity with citrus notes, and it lingers long and pleasantly.
