Description
Blended Whisky Yamazakura is made from 80% corn and 20% malted barley. It ages for a minimum of 16 years in barrels that previously contained bourbon. The name is composed of the words "yama" which in Japanese means "mountain" and "sakura" which instead means "cherry trees", a term that recalls the sacrifice of kamikaze soldiers for the emperor.
Yellow tending to amber in color, with golden reflections, it offers delicate citrus and vanilla notes to the nose. The taste is elegant and persistent, with hints of coconut, toasted bread and some hints of licorice.
This is a finely crafted whisky, to be enjoyed neat.
