  • Honestly, the recent years releases seems to be the stride for Yamazaki, who manage to release an interesting and complex pour here with Golden Promise.

  • You can tell it’s not an old malt, but it’s very well put together (as is the price, one might add). A malt that’s even maltier, in a way.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Soft and buttery, lactic and full of caramel, honey, sweet cream, some pepper, ginger and soft, baking, bread.

  • Taste:

    Loaded with honey, pears, peaches, lychee and sweet vanilla. Toffee, a bit of pepper and spice. Not wildly rich on the palate but layered and complex, with lots going on.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, peaches, pears, apples, sweet butter cream, honey and cracked pepper.

  • Overall:

    Honestly, the recent years releases seems to be the stride for Yamazaki, who manage to release an interesting and complex pour here with Golden Promise.
