職魂之作2024推出四款酒款，

分別是：白州18年Peated Malt、山崎18年Mizunara、山崎Islay Peated、山崎Golden Promise，一樣是以48%酒精濃度裝瓶。比較特別的是，這是職魂之作第一次同時出現山崎和白州！同時也是職魂之作第一次出現有年份標示的作品，打破了職魂之作都是NAS的慣例！

台灣是全球唯一為消費者推出「山崎、白州職魂之作2024」收藏座的市場，為經典系列更添收藏價值。此收藏座依據四款不同的和紙酒標花紋所打造，以絢麗花色、金箔點綴，呼應日本傳統工藝之美，搭配質感消光黑底座，凸顯酒標琥珀色系柔美顏色，完美呈現日式優雅靜奢風格。

「Tsukuriwake」源自日文 つくりわけ，意為「豐富且多樣的威士忌釀造方式，透過匠心藝術職人之手締造鉅作」。「山崎GOLDEN PROMISE」以選定黃金諾言大麥作為原料的方式，展演出獨到的圓潤和諧特色風味；「山崎ISLAY PEATED MALT」完美結合艾雷島泥煤麥芽與山崎酒廠的純淨水質，打造出優雅柔和的煙燻風味酒款。

「白州18 年PEATED MALT」完美發揮了酒廠得天獨厚的風土環境，以及職人對於熟成年份的精準掌握度，打造出別於其他產區的日本煙燻泥煤風味；「山崎18 年MIZUNARA」於日本獨有的水楢木中經過長時間的熟陳，酒液完美地釋放山崎酒廠經典的木質日式韻味。

Yamazaki Golden Promise
Yamazaki Golden Promise is made from golden promise barley, a standout grain cultivated in Scotland in the 1960s. Distilled in Japan since 2009 and aged in American Oak casks, it delivers a maltier, richer Yamazaki profile. It is perfect for more mature whiskies and has been added to Yamazaki 12 Year Old, imparting its deep and rounded flavor. Yamazaki Golden Promise offers a rich and full palate featuring notes of orange marmalade, custard and a sweet, lasting finish.

Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt
Islay Peat is often recognized as a distinctive character amongst scotch, with a softer and sweeter mouthfeel than Scotland’s mainland peat. The water and maturation process used to create Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt yields a balanced sweetness that complements the smoke, that adds complexity to the long enduring finish of Yamazaki. On the palate, it has a smooth sweetness of brown sugar with hints of bitter orange citrus and a warm, smokey finish. 

Both Yamazaki Golden Promise and Yamazaki Islay Peated Malt, enhance the intricate, multi-layered flavor profile of the Yamazaki core brand. 

Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara (Tsukuriwake 2024 Edition)
Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara (2024 Tsukuriwake Edition) introduces a limited-edition label for Suntory’s flagship Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara, celebrating The House of Suntory's legacy of mastering Mizunara oak: a Japanese oak notoriously difficult to work with, but now known as a signature enhancer of Suntory whiskies. The complex, deep flavor of Mizunara gives depth to the multi-layered profile of Yamazaki. A long maturation period reveals its signature spiciness and incense-like sandalwood and aloe wood flavors that comprise this 100% Mizunara whisky. It offers subtly spiced orange notes and a long, lingering finish with hints of clove and dried coconut.

Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt (2024 Tsukuriwake Edition)
Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt (2024 Tsukuriwake Edition) introduces a limited-edition label for Suntory’s celebrated Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt. To honor the art of diverse blending at the Hakushu distillery, it enables The House of Suntory to produce more than 100 different malt whiskies and constant refinement of the Japanese peated malt whisky. The refined and elegant smokiness of Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt lends a refreshing quality to the liquid, evoking the essence of a serene forest. A lengthy maturation process in Hakushu's pristine and pure water reveals a distinct smokiness with spicy, peppery notes, deepening to unveil herbaceous minerals and ripe apple undertones.

The Yamazaki 18 Year Old Mizunara and Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt, launched last year for the House of Suntory’s 100th anniversary and were continued due to their popularity among consumers.
