DESCRIPTION
Hinomaru Sakura Ra is a pure malt Japanese whisky inspired by sakura – the cherry blossom – a symbol of Japan’s fleeting beauty.
Distilled by the historic Kiuchi Brewery, also renowned for its sake and Hitachino craft beer, this whisky embodies the true spirit of authentic Japanese whisky: produced, fermented, distilled, wood-aged, and bottled entirely in Japan – unlike many other brands on the market today.
It is a blend of malt whiskies aged in bourbon, sherry, wine, and cherry brandy casks, but its uniqueness lies in the final maturation in Japanese cherry wood barrels, which give it an elegant and floral aromatic profile.
A poetic whisky, inspired by the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms in bloom.
