TASTING NOTES - SAKURAO SINGLE MALT SAUTERNES CASK FINISH

Nose

There is a beautiful intensity in the nose, reminding of the sophisticated spices which can be found in Mizunara-wood aged Japanese whiskies: incense, sandalwood, nutmeg and some very ripe fruity background (apple, pear, mango, passion fruit), with chestnut honey on top of a slight sweetness. The Sauternes influence is gentle and enriching, never too intrusive.

Palate

Again, the complexity is quite high, both on the fruity side with custard as well as on the spices, which are sweet and savory, very sensual. A little winey touch is making things even further interesting.

Finish

Quite long, velvety, rich.

Sakurao Single Malt Sauternes Cask Finish is a nice single malt, enjoying extensive aging in quality ex-bourbon casks, yet adding layers of complexity via a long, but well-balanced finish in sweet Sauternes wine. ABV is perfect to make the dram something to remember.
