Yamazaki Puncheon Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2022 Edition 700ml

The puncheon is what Suntory calls the heart of Yamazaki: a large cask of hand-selected American oak, about 480 litres. Big casks let the whisky mature slowly, and this 2022 limited edition bottles puncheon-aged malt on its own at 48%.

It's the cleanest, gentlest of the cask editions. Pale gold. Green apple, ripe pear and acacia honey with a touch of vanilla on the nose; a clean, velvety palate with butterscotch; and an oaky finish with soft sweetness.

For the Yamazaki collector, it's best tasted next to the Spanish Oak 2022 to see the contrast. For the everyday blend of all the casks, the 12 Year is the reference.

Pour it neat, slightly cool, into a tulip glass.

We carry it in the 700ml size, in very limited quantities. It is also listed with our collector bottles, and the rest of the range is on our Yamazaki page. More bottles are under Japanese whisky, and the rest of our whiskey is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
