If you're a whisky lover, you've probably heard the name "SAKURAO" at some point.
But have you ever compared the difference between Sakurao and Togouchi? Many of you may have tried one of them.
When you line up all three, you'll see a different side to them. 😊
This Hiroshima-born whisky actually has charms that cannot be fully expressed by just "one bottle." This tasting set we're introducing is a wonderful opportunity to experience all of them at once. 🥃
🏭 Hiroshima Whisky, nurtured by over 100 years of history
SAKURAO DISTILLERY's predecessor was Chugoku Jozo, founded in 1918. Originally a brewer of liqueurs and brandies, the company ventured into the world of single malt Japanese whisky, building on its many years of brewing expertise.
What's particularly noteworthy is the individuality of the storage warehouses. Even whiskies from the same distillery can have completely different flavors depending on where and in what environment they are aged. SAKURAO intentionally showcases these differences within a single lineup.
If you're curious about the individuality of the three bottles, be sure to check out the tasting set. Limited to 100 sets, and free shipping.
🌊 1. "Sakurao" — The climate of Setouchi, straight into your glass
Aged in the "Sakurao Cellar" located across from Miyajima, a World Heritage site. The warm climate of the Seto Inland Sea and seasonal temperature differences create the rhythm of maturation. It is characterized by a complex and rich flavor with a subtle hint of the tide.
- AromaRaisin, orange, peach 🍑
- TasteVanilla sweetness, moderate astringency and acidity
- FinishSmoky and rich sweetness, lingering slowly and for a long time
This is a bottle you'll want to drink neat, following the changes in its finish.
🌲 2. "Togouchi" — A clear taste born from the silence of the mountains
Aged in the "Togouchi Cellar," which utilizes a former railway tunnel deep in the forests of Akiota Town. The cool and stable environment throughout the year gives the whisky a gentle aging process. It has a light and clean mouthfeel, a stark contrast to Sakurao.
