Suntory Yamazaki 2009 Golden Promise 2021 TEOS
This is the 2021 release of The Essence of Suntory, distilled at Suntory’s Yamazaki distillery in 2009, and bottled in 2021 after more than a decade in American Oak casks. It’s made using Golden Promise barley, whose profile might be familiar to fans of The Macallan.
Golden Promise is a brand name of malt most famously associated with The Macallan, who used it exclusively during the 1960s and 70s. In Japan, the Karuizawa Distillery started using the same brand once they were allowed to import barley from overseas, rather than use domestic.
