Description
Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Mizunara Japanese Whisky
Through years of experimentation, our blenders have discovered the secret to the treasures of Mizunara casks: time. A long maturation period imparts unmistakable spiciness and notes of sandalwood and aloe upon the Yamazaki. As a result, Yamazaki Mizunara Aged 18 Years is a pleasingly complex, rich and elegant whisky, where fruit, spice and wood notes engage to inspire the senses.
The House of Suntory has unveiled the four Japanese single malt expressions in the 2024 Tsukuriwake Series, which aims to showcase its adventurous sense of creativity. The series lets Suntory chief blender Shinji Fukuyo demonstrate how blending can illustrate the intricacy of Japanese whisky making by spanning a variety of elements in barley strains, peating levels, and different cask types.
The Tsukuriwake Series (pronounced soo-koo-ree-wah-keh) debuted two years ago, and the word translates as “artisanship through the diversity of making.” The company marked its 100th anniversary in 2023 with special centenary releases, so there was not a Tsukuriwake Series release last year. The 2024 Tsukuriwake Series is driven by the core values of wa, which takes inspiration through harmony with Japanese nature, monozukuri, which means to be elevated by Japanese craftsmanship, and omotenashi, which is about the enjoyment of an authentic Japanese cultural experience.” Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate
“The series includes a Yamazaki 18 year old Mizunara for 2024 following last year’s Yamazaki 18 year old Mizunara 100th Anniversary Edition which was rated 95 points by our tasting panel. Each edition of the Yamazaki 18 year old Mizunara, from the 96-point 2017 edition to the 2024 Tsukuriwake Edition is fully matured in Japanese mizunara oak.” Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate
