The Yamazaki Islay Peated 2024 Edition

Islay peat is known for imparting one of Scotch whisky’s most distinctive flavors, celebrated around the world for its unique smokiness. The Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt balances this smoky quality with a characteristic sweetness, thanks to the special water and maturation processes that define Yamazaki whisky. This blend of traditions is particularly noticeable on the nose, where the gentle smoke meets a hint of biscuit.

- Color: Bright gold
- Nose: Gently smoky with a hint of biscuit
- Palate: Smooth and sweet, reminiscent of brown sugar, followed by a citrus note of bitter orange
- Finish: Warm, lingering, and sweetly smoky
