Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh barley and orchard fruit — green apple, yellow pear — with a dusting of vanilla and a faint almond-blossom note. Clean, honest, and unhurried.

Palate

Soft honey arrival, then toasted cereal and a mid-palate flush of stone fruit. Light oak spice builds: cinnamon, a touch of white pepper, a clean cereal backbone.

Finish

Medium in length, drying gently into biscuity oak with a last trace of apple skin and soft vanilla.

Expert Review

8.2/10

The single malt face of Sasanokawa's mountain-cherry brand — pure Asaka Distillery spirit from the Fukushima house that has been making whisky since 1946.
