On the nose, Sakurao Sherry Cask reveals intoxicating notes of raisins and cocoa, inviting further sensory exploration. On the palate, you'll be carried away by an explosion of fruity and vinous flavors, with nuances of dark cherry and orange, enhanced by a hint of peat aroma. The finish gives way to a woody fragrance, accompanied by a deep, bittersweet aftertaste that lingers delicately on the palate.

This exceptional whisky has a dark amber color, underlining its richness and depth. With an alcohol content of 50%, it offers a rich, powerful tasting experience. Aged in two types of hogshead sherry casks, it acquires a dark red hue and a complexity of flavors that will delight the most demanding whisky lovers.

The Sakurao distillery, located in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, enjoys a privileged location between the Seto Inland Sea and the Chugoku Mountains. Temperature variations induced by warm sea breezes and cool mountain winds accelerate the whisky's maturation process, giving rise to unique flavor profiles. Sakurao Sherry Cask perfectly embodies the spirit and characteristics of the Hiroshima region, with its gentle peat and barrel aromas and fruity sweetness.

Product limited to 2 bottles per order.

The distillery

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.
