The Matsui Sakura Single Cask Aged 5 Years

The Matsui Sakura Single Cask Aged 5 Years originates from the Matsui Shuzou distillery, nestled in the picturesque region of Hyogo, Japan. This whisky embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship, showcasing the skill and dedication of its distillers. The single cask aging allows for a unique expression of flavor that reflects the characteristics of the wood, offering a truly special experience.

Tasting notes reveal a delicate balance of floral and fruity aromas, reminiscent of cherry blossoms, which is fitting given the name Sakura. On the palate, this whisky presents notes of sweet vanilla, fresh fruits like pear and apple, and a hint of gentle spices. The smooth finish is punctuated by a light smokiness that lingers, making each sip a delightful journey.

Crafted from high-quality malted barley, the Matsui Sakura is a celebration of traditional Japanese whisky-making techniques. With an alcohol content of 48%, it stands at a perfect strength for both sipping neat or over ice, allowing the intricate flavors to unfold beautifully. This whisky is not only a testament to the heritage of Japanese distilling but also a tribute to the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms, inviting drinkers to savor the moment.
