DESCRIPTION
Hinomaru Sakura Ra is a Japanese blended malt whisky inspired by sakura, the cherry blossom and an enduring symbol of Japan’s fleeting beauty.
Produced by the historic Kiuchi Brewery, also renowned for its sake and Hitachino craft beer, it is crafted from selected malt whiskies fermented, distilled, matured and bottled entirely in Japan.
The blend brings together whiskies matured in a variety of casks, including bourbon, sherry, wine and cherry brandy casks. Its most distinctive character comes from a final maturation in Japanese cherry wood, adding elegant floral and fruity nuances to its aromatic profile.
A refined and original whisky inspired by the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms in bloom.
