Yamazakura "The First" is a Japanese single malt from Asaka Distillery in Fukushima, and the first full single malt release from the distillery. It comes in a 70cl bottle. It was aged primarily in bourbon casks and bottled at a natural cask strength of 61% ABV, non-chill filtered and without added colour. The nose combines floral honey, citrus peel and orchard fruits with polished oak and a hint of green tea. The palate is bold and oily, with apple compote, vanilla bean and ginger. The finish is long, with warming oak, white pepper and lingering fruit sweetness.

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.
