The liquids are distilled near the Seto Inland Sea, while the casks are stored in cellars at the foot of the Osorakan mountain, in the small town of Akiota-Togouchi. Crafted and closely monitored by a team of local artisans at Sakurao Distillery, these Japanese whiskies capture several decades of expertise and reflect the passion at the heart of these iconic bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sakurao Distillery was founded in 2017, near the Seto inland sea.
