Yamazakura Blend Gift Set - 6 whisky Stones
Produced by the oldest sake brewery in the Tohoku region, Maison Sasanokawa Shuzo, founded in 1765, this whisky is crafted at the Asaka Distillery, which was redesigned in 2016 for whisky production. Yamazakura Blend is the first whisky born from this revival, showcasing centuries of expertise in distillation and blending. The Master Blender carefully selected four malt and grain whiskies of foreign origin, creating a smooth and delicate profile.
The name Yamazakura combines "Yama" (mountain) and "Zakura," referencing the iconic Japanese cherry blossom. Elegantly presented in a sleek gift box, this whisky comes with six whisky stones, allowing you to chill the drink without diluting its flavors.
Nose: Floral notes of elderflower, malt, caramel, with a subtle hint of iodine.
Palate: Citrus, pear, vanilla, and cereal aromas, with a light, oily texture.
Finish: Sweet and balanced, offering a refined tasting experience.
