Yamazakura Blended Whisky

Experience the enchantment of Japan with every sip of Yamazakura Blended Whisky, presented in a 70 cl bottle with a smooth 40% alcohol content. This expertly crafted blend combines malt and grain whiskies, selected to achieve a balanced profile of flavors. The grain whisky component is believed to include corn, which enhances its smoothness and light sweetness, while the malt whisky adds depth and a gentle complexity.

Aged in ex-bourbon barrels, Yamazakura develops delicate layers of flavor, with soft vanilla, fruity orchard notes, and a touch of gentle oak on the nose. The palate reveals hints of honey, toasted nuts, and subtle malt character, finishing with a smooth, mild warmth. This whisky is particularly suited to be enjoyed neat or as a highball, where its subtleties can be appreciated fully.
