Suntory The Essence of Suntory Yamazaki 2009 Golden Promise Japanese Single Malt Whisky (2021) 50cl
Discover the Yamazaki Golden Promise, an exquisite addition to The Essence of Suntory Whisky series, celebrating the mastery and innovation of Japan’s oldest whisky distillery. This special release is crafted using the rare "Golden Promise" barley, known for imparting a rich, creamy texture and depth of flavor. Distilled at Yamazaki and matured in select barrels, this whisky reveals a balanced profile of fruit, spice, and gentle oak, showcasing the signature elegance of Japanese whisky.
On the nose, enjoy aromas of ripe apples, honey, and delicate floral hints, while the palate unfolds with notes of vanilla, subtle spice, and a velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel. The finish is long, lingering with sweet malt and soft oak. Part of a limited-edition series, Yamazaki Golden Promise is a true collector's item and a testament to Suntory’s dedication to quality and tradition.
The Golden Promise barley, once popular in Scotch whisky production, is now rare due to its lower yield, but it’s treasured for creating richly textured whiskies with unique character.
Please note, this bottle is not to be mistaken with the latest Yamazaki Golden Promise from the Tsukuriwake Edition 2024, which features a different blend and maturation process.
About Suntory
The House of Suntory is a House of Japanese artisans, crafting world-class spirits, inspired by Japanese nature and mastered with Japanese craft. In addition to our luxury brands Yamazaki, Hakushu, Chita and Hibiki, we also have Suntory Whisky Toki, Roku Gin and Haku Vodka as premium offerings. We do more than create high-quality spirits; we embody the Japanese philosophy and traditions that are a full expression of everything we make.
At House of Suntory, we’ve been pioneering fine Japanese whisky since 1923, and invite you to celebrate this exciting milestone with us. The House of Suntory was built on a singular dream – founder Shinjiro Torii wanted to enrich the lives of the Japanese people, and so he grew into an entrepreneur, maker and doer. Inspired by the riches of Japan’s nature, he chose the Yamazaki area for its reputed soft water, unique climate and beautiful seasons—all of which would contribute to the distinctive Japanese character of Suntory whiskies.
Shinjiro achieved his dream to “create an original Japanese Whisky blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and ‘Monozukuri’ craftsmanship.” Today, that vision continues, and The House of Suntory now represents a House of Japanese Culture—a rich experience and homage to Japan in every bottle, ready to be discovered by the world as we enter our second millennium.
