Yamazaki Puncheon 2020 Edition

The Yamazaki 2020 Puncheon Edition is a distinguished addition to the Tsukuriwake selection. This remarkable single malt whisky is matured in a 480-litre puncheon, a larger barrel that allows for a gentler and more refined interaction between the whisky and the wood, resulting in a nuanced and elegant flavor profile.

The Yamazaki Puncheon is a testament to the distillery's innovative spirit and commitment to exploring a wide array of maturation techniques. Alongside other unique expressions matured in bourbon, mizunara (Japanese oak), and sherry casks, as well as a peated variant, this edition showcases the vast spectrum of flavors that can be achieved through careful cask selection and ageing.

Bottled at 48% ABV  the 2020 Puncheon Edition captivates with its subtle complexity and depth. Whisky aficionados can expect a harmonious blend of flavors, characterized by light and delicate fruit notes, a soft and creamy texture, and an understated oak influence that complements rather than overpowers.

The Yamazaki Puncheon 2020 Edition is a celebration of the distillery's mastery over the art of whisky making and its dedication to the Tsukuriwake philosophy - the diversity of making. This limited release is not just a bottle of whisky; it's an invitation to experience the refined elegance and pioneering spirit of Yamazaki, Japan's first and most esteemed malt whisky distillery.
