Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt 2024 Release 70cl 48%
Part of the Suntory Tsukuriwake Selection 2024, this Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt is a distinctive Japanese single malt that brings together two very different whisky worlds. Made using peat sourced from Islay, it delivers a style of smoke that feels more coastal, salty, and maritime than typical peated expressions, while still retaining the elegant, fruit-led character that Yamazaki is known for. The result is a beautifully balanced dram where sweetness and soft smoke work in harmony.
This is an intriguing bottle for drinkers who enjoy peated whisky but want something with a slightly different profile to the classic Scottish style. The Islay peat adds a gentle seaside edge, while the Yamazaki spirit keeps things refined, rounded, and approachable.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Bright gold

Why We Like It
This is a clever and characterful Yamazaki release that shows how peat can be used in a more nuanced way. Rather than overpowering the spirit, the Islay peat brings a subtle maritime smokiness that complements Yamazaki’s natural sweetness beautifully. It is a great choice for fans of Japanese whisky, collectors of limited Suntory releases, or anyone looking to explore a softer, sweeter style of peated single malt.
Perfect For
- Fans of Japanese whisky with a smoky twist
- Collectors of Suntory Tsukuriwake Selection bottlings
- Gifting to someone who enjoys both Yamazaki and peated whisky
- Enjoying as a thoughtful after-dinner dram
