REDEFINING THE ART OF WHISKY: The House of Suntory introduce Tsukuriwake Series 2024!
The unique and exclusive four-expression series further explores diversity, innovation, and craftsmanship at the Yamazaki and Hakushu Distilleries.
Tsukuriwake (pronounced soo-koo-ree-wah-keh) means ‘artisanship through a diversity of making,’ and the limitededition 2024 Tsukuriwake Series is a true reflection of this. Suntory’s 5th Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo has pushed the boundaries of whisky making with this series by using ingredients like wood, and processes that expand the previous Tsukuriwake range to showcase the diversity of whisky making. The Tsukuriwake Series 2024 includes The Yamazaki Golden Promise, The Yamazaki Islay Peated, The Yamazaki 18 Years Mizunara and The Hakushu 18 Years Peated Malt and focuses on the core values of Wa (harmony with nature), Monozukuri (Japanese craftsmanship), Omotenashi (authentic cultural experience), the essence of Japan and the craftsmanship of the production process. A Tribute to our Diversity of Making “Tsukuriwake translates to ‘artisanship through a diversity of making’, which is truly what the 2024 Series represents with each of the four liquids included,” says Chief Blender of Suntory Shinji Fukuyo. “While past releases from the collection focused mainly on the details of the casks, The 2024 Tsukuriwake Series emphasizes the elements of whisky making, such as ingredient selection, peat, and cask. This series is the ultimate showcase of the incredible diversity of choices that goes into the making of Yamazaki and Hakushu whiskies.”
