The Yamazakura Fine Blended Whisky is made by Sasanokawa Shuzo Co, a small distillery in Japan which has recently set up the new Asaka Whisky Distillery under their company as well. Their own distillation has also gone through turbulent times in sync with the Japanese whisky market's boom and bust cycles with bulk spirit imports replacing their own production through these times. 

Tasting Notes: Orange blossoms on the nose, followed by oak, caramel, and fresh orchard fruit on the palate. Easy on the nose and palate, this is a very gentle whisky with an upfront sweetness that stays on the palate followed by dark chocolate in the finish.
