Hinomaru Sakura Ra is a Japanese malt whisky from Kiuchi Brewery, inspired by Japan's cherry blossoms, in a 70cl bottle. Its base is malt whisky aged in bourbon barrels, blended with malts matured separately in Sakura wood, cherry brandy, sherry and wine casks. The nose is sweet, with fruit, candy, cherry and malt. The palate has sweet malt and ripe fruit with a cherry character, showing the influence of the varied casks. The finish is smooth and warming, with fruit and malt sweetness lingering.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
