DESCRIPTION
Hinomaru Sakura Ra is a Japanese pure malt whisky, inspired by the sakura – the cherry blossom – symbol of Japan's ephemeral beauty.
Distilled by the historic Kiuchi Brewery, also famous for its sake and Hitachino craft beer, this whisky represents the authenticity of "Japanese whisky": produced, fermented, distilled, aged in wood, and bottled entirely in Japan – unlike many other brands currently on the market.
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 casks, which impart an elegant and floral aromatic profile.
A poetic whisky, inspired by the ephemeral beauty of blooming sakura.
