Sakurao 2020 3 años Single Malt Whisky

SAKURAO GIN is a premium Japanese craft gin distilled at the Sakurao Distillery in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima—a region celebrated for its pristine natural landscape and centuries-old distilling tradition. Our master distillers employ time-honored copper pot still methods inherited from England, the historic cradle of London Dry Gin, while championing an exceptional palette of hyper-local Japanese botanicals that authentically express our unique terroir. Our botanical repertoire is a masterclass in aromatic complexity: vibrant top notes of florid Italian lemon peel and the rich, aromatic zest of Japanese yuzu; a woody, resinous mid-palate derived from indigenous Hinoki cypress; and a distinctive maritime minerality extracted from meticulously sourced oyster shells—a tribute to Hiroshima's legendary Seto Inland Sea aquaculture. At its heart, SAKURAO GIN features hand-harvested sakura (cherry blossoms), the very emblem of our distillery's home in Sakurao, imparting ethereal floral elegance and profound cultural resonance to every bottle. Each small-batch distillation reflects our unwavering commitment to artisanal mastery, precision, and the celebration of Japan's botanical heritage. SAKURAO GIN represents a harmonious fusion of traditional gin-making excellence and Japan's distinctive natural legacy, delivering a sophisticated spirit that is simultaneously world-class and unmistakably Japanese.
