  Yamazakura 16 years old Blended Japanese Whisky 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865403-333

  Yamazakura means "wild mountain cherry blossom" - a fitting name for a whisky from the rugged, beautiful mountain landscape of the Tohoku region.

  Expert Description

  Yamazakura 16 Year Old is a Blended Japanese Whisky, bottled at 40%.

  The whisky comes from Sasanokawa Shuzo, a sake and shochu brewer founded in 1765 in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, which has also made whisky since 1946. The Yamazakura brand was revived in 2015 with the reopening of Asaka Distillery, and this 16 year old shows the depth of the company's older stocks.
