Sakurao Sauternes Cask Finish
Single Malt - 50 ° - 70 cl
Sakurao Single Malt Sauternes Cask Finish is a refined Japanese whisky, carefully crafted by the Sakurao distillery in Hiroshima.
Read moreThis single malt seduces with its sweet nose, revealing aromas of honey, apple and cinnamon. On the palate, it offers a gourmet texture with flavors of custard, banana and pear. The finish is long, marked by notes of honey and ripe fruit, leaving a harmonious, lingering impression.
Made from 100% malt, this whisky is distilled twice using traditional methods. It is initially aged in bourbon casks, then matured for 18 months in Sauternes casks, giving it a unique aromatic complexity. Uncolored and unchill-filtered, it has an alcohol content of 50%, preserving all its richness and authenticity.
Founded in 2017, the Sakurao distillery carries on a century-old tradition of spirits production, combining innovation and respect for Japanese artisanal methods. Located between sea and mountains, it takes advantage of the exceptional environment of the Hiroshima region to create whiskies of great finesse. Sakurao Single Malt Sauternes Cask Finish reflects this commitment to quality and excellence, offering enthusiasts a rich and nuanced tasting experience.

The distillery Sakurao Distillery
Although the Sakurao Distillery is new to the Japanese whisky distilleries circle, it can draw on the experience of its founder, the Chugoku Jozo house with whom we have worked for years. Renowned for being teeming with natural wonders, it was in Hiroshima Prefecture that she naturally settled down.
