Yamazakura Asaka Bourbon Cask Matured 2023 Release Japanese Single Malt Whisky (2023) 70cl
Made from 100% malted barley and aged for 3 years in bourbon barrels, this single malt is neither chillfiltered nor colored to reveal a fresh and elegant profile with floral notes.
Yamazakura Single Malt is distilled in a very limited number of batches by the Asaka distillery. Traditional in the making, it is distilled, blended and aged to perfection to bring out a smooth and delicate whisky.
TASTING NOTES
Yamazakura Asaka 2023 reveals a complex, delicate nose, with nuances of plum, wildflower honey and bourbon vanilla. Fruity and sweet aromas blend harmoniously, creating a seductive olfactory experience. On the palate, it reveals a velvety, gourmand texture, with pronounced notes of orange marmalade, vanilla and French toast. Flavors blend with subtlety, creating a complex, balanced palette. The finish is smooth and persistent, leaving rich, slightly spicy cereal notes and hints of candied fruit on the palate, a warm conclusion that prolongs the pleasure of tasting.
About Yamazakura
Yamazakura whisky is crafted by the Sasanokawa Shuzo Co., Ltd., a prominent Japanese spirits producer with a rich heritage dating back to 1765. Originally established as a sake brewery in Fukushima Prefecture, Sasanokawa Shuzo expanded its operations to include whisky production in the 1940s. The company's commitment to quality and meticulous blending techniques has positioned Yamazakura as a respected name in Japanese whisky.
Asaka distillery is located in the Koriyama plain in Japan. "Yama" means "mountains" and "zakura" stands for "sakura" meaning "cherry trees", as a tribute to the Tohoku area (where the distillery stands), mainly known for its blooming trees.
As Sasanokawa Shuzo continues to refine its whisky production techniques and expand its portfolio, Yamazakura whisky remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese whisky craftsmanship. With a blend of tradition and innovation, Yamazakura is poised to captivate whisky enthusiasts with its distinctive offerings and commitment to quality.
