This bottling from the House of Suntory is one of four in its 2022 Tsukuriwake Selection, a collection of single malts from Yamazaki Distillery which highlights the foundational pillars of the whisky brand. Tsukuriwake means "artisanship through a diversity of making" and this release features the single malts that were aged in Japanese Mizunara oak, a species native to Japan. This was first launched in Japan in 2020 and is available in select global markets as of June 2022 including the US.

This was specifically noted as a Yamazaki 12 Mizunara Cask at the Distillery. This was the second best whisky of the day, behind only Hibiki 30. Better than Yamazaki 25 and Yamazaki LE. Japanese Whisky in Mizunara casks is legit.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
