The Yamazakura Blended Whisky is a harmonious blend of grain and malt whiskies, showcasing the precision and skill of Japanese whisky-making. The name "Yamazakura" combines two elements of Japanese nature - "Yama" meaning mountain, and "Sakura," the cherry blossom, symbolizing the harmony between nature and the delicate art of whisky creation.
This Japanese blended whisky is characterized by its floral aroma, with notes of earth, oak, salted nuts, and orange blossoms. The whisky has a fruity and rich flavor, with mature garden fruit, salted caramel, a hint of herbs, peppery spice, and grain. It has a well-rounded, medium-length finish with creamy vanilla, leaving a delightful impression without being overly sweet.
The Yamazakura Blended Whisky is a NAS (Non-Age Statement) whisky, bottled without an age statement. It is composed of a balanced blend of grain whisky and malt whisky, creating a unique and exquisite Japanese whisky experience. The whisky's color ranges from honey-yellow to gold, presented in a distinctive, dark, and eye-catching bottle.
The Yamazakura Blended Whisky is a product of the Sasanokawa Shuzo distillery, which has been producing Sake, Shochu, and Whisky since 1946, although the company's history dates back to 1765. The distillery is located in Asaka, Japan, and the Yamazakura Whisky is inspired by the Japanese spirit, featuring the symbol of Japan - a pink blooming cherry blossom on the bottle.
This whisky perfectly represents Japanese craftsmanship and the country’s appreciation for nature. It is an excellent choice for both Japanese whisky enthusiasts and those new to the category, offering a delightful, balanced, and memorable whisky experience.

The reviews of Yamazakura Blended Whisky are mixed. Some reviewers appreciate its floral aroma and complex flavor profile that includes notes of caramel, garden fruits, and vanilla. However, others find it lacking in depth, describing it as youthful, with a yeasty and metallic taste. It is noted to be suitable for highball cocktails due to its clean and straightforward character, but some feel it falls short when compared to more mature whiskies.
