Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Mizunara Japanese Whisky 

Barley, yeast, water, caramel coloring,with colourant

This whisky boasts a stunning amber-red hue, signaling a rich and deep sensory experience. The nose is marked by elegant and intense top notes of black cherry and ripe peach, enhanced by hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate, it reveals a subtle and spicy character, with delicate notes of Japanese incense, typical of whiskies aged in Mizunara casks. The finish is long and persistent, supported by clove, sandalwood, and a touch of dried coconut.

Yamazaki Mizunara 18 Years continues the legacy of Suntory, which has mastered the art of aging in Mizunara casks. This whisky has undergone prolonged maturation to fully reveal the spicy character and incense notes that define this unique release. Bottled at 48% ABV, it represents the ultimate refinement of Mizunara whiskies, continuing Yamazaki’s tradition of excellence.

Since its inception, the Yamazaki distillery has distinguished itself by its relentless pursuit of innovation while respecting traditions. The Tsukuriwake approach, emphasizing diversity in production methods, is at the core of this philosophy. The Mizunara 18 Years, with its extended aging in Mizunara oak casks, is a refined expression of this approach, where every step of the production process is designed to enhance the unique qualities of this Japanese wood.

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
