Description

Yamazakura is ‘produced’ by Sasanokawa Shuzo, which is a Japanese spirits company that makes sake and schochu. They source their whisky from undisclosed sources. Remember you can blend Japanese whisky with other spirits or even Scotch bulk whisky and still call the end result ‘Japanese whisky’…

Until recently their releases were only available in Japan (where they have some pure malt expressions), but they teamed up with Les Whiskies du Monde (of Fujikai fame, cough) to create this ‘high-end’ Yamazakura brand. We’re getting two blended whiskies: a 16 years old and this no age statement version.

This blend is said to be composed of four malt whiskies and some grain.
