Yamazakura Japanese Blended Whisky

Produced by the Sasanokawa Shuzo company, back in 1765, who were already known for producing top quality sake and schochu. This whisky has a rather romantic name, a portmanteau of the words Yama (mountain) and Sakura (cherry tree), so the title of this dram conjures up a peaceful scene of the Japanese landscape, shown on the bottle’s label.
