BOTTLED EXCLUSIVELY FOR HONG KONG
This is the second single cask from the Sakurao distillery for Hong Kong. This single cask also has a nice label. A talented Japanese comic illustrator has created a summer night scene of Hong Kong with fireworks. We hope you will enjoy this fun label as much as we did for this summer evening with our Sakurao Single Cask Hong Kong Edition.
And the master blender chose sherry casks this time. The beautiful amber color is in perfect harmony with the color of the label. Enjoy the aromas of raisins and caraway, followed by dark cherries, ripe grapes, and bitter chocolate.
TASTING NOTE :

Nose: Raisin, orange, caraway

■Single Malt Whisky SAKURAO SINGLE CASK #5216 for Singapore
The second in a series for Asia by a Japanese comic illustrator is a woman drinking whiskey while gazing at the night view of Marina Bay Sands. Continuing from the Hong Kong edition released this summer, the main character is Shizuka SAKURAO, who travels around Asia (and so on).
Now, the master blender has chosen a non-peated bourbon cask that has been laid down for two years in a tunnel in Togawachi and one year in the Sakurao aging house by the sea. It is a good product with a light golden color and a typical malty sweetness that is easy to drink.
It is a good piece that can be enjoyed as a collector's item.
