Yamazakura Asaka Single Malt

Discover the Yamazakura Asaka Single Malt, a unique expression from the small Asaka distillery, located near Koriyama in Fukushima prefecture. Established in 2016, the distillery began its journey to create unique and refined Japanese whiskies. This single malt is distilled twice in a traditional Pot Still from malted barley, enhancing the distinctive flavors of the Asaka distillery.

After distillation, the whisky is aged for 3 years in bourbon casks, adding complexity and depth to its flavor profile. Unchill-filtered, it retains all its authenticity and natural texture, offering a pure, intense tasting experience. This limited edition has been specially produced in small quantities from a careful selection of 10 Bourbon casks, resulting in just 3,000 bottles.

On the nose, it reveals a complex, delicate aroma with nuances of plum, wildflower honey, and bourbon vanilla. On the palate, it displays a velvety, gourmand texture, with pronounced notes of orange marmalade, vanilla, and French toast. Flavors blend subtly, creating a complex, balanced palette. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving rich, slightly spicy cereal notes and hints of candied fruit on the palate, a warm conclusion that prolongs the tasting pleasure.
