First-fill cherry blossom barrel finish
This is a Japanese single malt from Sasanokawa Shuzo, bottled at 55% ABV. It is made from non-peated Asaka spirit matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, then finished for more than a year in first-fill cherry blossom barrels. The nose brings salted cherry blossom, castella, floral hints, lemon and a distinct earthiness. The palate balances sweetness and acidity, with baby castella cake and cherry blossom cream. The sweet finish lasts a long time and leaves a clean, clear flavour.

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.
