Yamazakura 16 Year Old is a Japanese whisky made by Sasanokawa Shuzo. It is a blend of malt and grain whiskies, aged for sixteen years. The components first mature in ex-bourbon barrels. They are then married and returned to ex-bourbon barrels for further maturation. The nose is sweet, with vanilla, anise, toffee, marzipan and a lightly nutty, slightly burnt note. The palate starts gently and turns fruity and sweet, with anise, caramel and sweet spice. The finish is medium in length, floral and sweet, with caramel and a faint burnt edge.

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.
