Sasakawa Pure Malt Whisky
Tasting Notes
Sasakawa Pure Malt Whisky is a masterful blend of two unpeated malt whiskies and one peated malt whisky. The three whiskies are aged in bourbon barrels for a minimum of 5 years. Then one of the unpeated malt whiskies is finished in Spanish sherry casks. The whisky is astonishingly light, smooth, and soft, with a hint of peaty smokiness hiding beneath the sherry savor. The nose hints at crème brulée, far-off nighttime campfires, and a whisper of a freshly opened old book.
