Suntory The Yamazaki Puncheon 2022 Edition Single Malt Japanese Whisky (700mL)

An exceptional, limited-run release that celebrates the crucial role wood shape plays in maturation. Bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV), the Yamazaki Puncheon 2022 Edition is composed entirely of single malts aged exclusively in large, 480-liter American oak puncheons crafted by Suntory’s own master coopers. Because these massive casks allow the spirit to mature slowly with less direct wood contact, this rare expression features a incredibly bright, clean, and malt-forward character. It serves up rich notes of green apple, ripe pear, vanilla, and sweet honeyed oak.
