Project 04 // Inverarity Morton is a limited-edition blended Scotch whisky created in collaboration with Inverarity Morton—a family-run business supporting the whisky trade since 1945. With a focus on bold character and versatility, this malt-forward blend was designed to surprise and delight, whether served neat or in mixed drinks.
Blended in February 2024 and bottled at 49.1% ABV, only 470 bottles were produced. The whisky features an extended finishing period in a yet-to-be-specified cask, chosen to add a final flourish in honour of Inverarity Morton’s ‘extra mile’ ethos.

Tasting Note by JPHA: A malt-heavy blend offering a rich texture, with notes leaning toward fruit, floral, and gentle wood, rounded by subtle funk and minimal smoke. A layered and engaging dram, built with balance and drinkability in mind.
The whisky blend known as "Yamazakura Peated" is a combination of various malt whiskies, including some from the Asaka distillery, as well as grain whisky made from corn. It contains 30% malted barley and is aged for three years in first-fill ex-Bourbon, ex-Oloroso, and ex-Pedro Ximénez casks. Notably, it remains uncolored and undergoes no chill-filtering, preserving its natural character.
