Yamazakura Blended Whisky comes from Sasanokawa Shuzo, a Japanese maker of sake and schochu that sources its whisky from undisclosed suppliers. The blend combines four malt whiskies with grain whisky and rests at 40% ABV.
Raw and rough, very spirity. Lots of grainy, spirity notes. A hint of sweet vanilla and then some peppery wood, but in a rather plankish way. Quite nasty really. Not nearly as funky as Fujikai, just cheap and bland.
