The Emperor is a cask strength Japanese single malt from the Saburomaru Distillery in Tonami, Toyama prefecture. It was distilled in 2020 from heavily peated Highland malt at 50 ppm and bottled in 2024 at 60%, in an edition of 1,900 bottles. It is in a 70cl bottle, non-chill-filtered and without added colouring.
The Highland peat gives a dry, direct smoke. The label takes The Emperor, the fourth card of the tarot's major arcana, with a paper-cut by Yukie Kano, an artist from Himi.
The nose is smoke with ash and light acidity, then pineapple, apricot, banana, menthol, chestnut and a fine note of bacon. The palate is rich, oily and sweet, with pronounced cask wood. The finish is warming and very long, with smoke, ash and wood.
