Coastal maturation shaped through a broad cask palette.
Matured by the coast in Sakurao, the whisky uses a range of casks, including bourbon, cream sherry, mizunara, wine and new casks. The whisky is bottled without colouring or chill filtration.
A broad cask palette
Fruit, sweetness, tannin and wood from different casks build complexity.
Coastal maturation
The setting near the Seto Inland Sea contributes a subtle saline accent.
Bottled without colouring or chill filtration
Natural colour and non-chill filtration preserve texture and finish.
Layered fruit, subtle salinity, smoke and mizunara.
Raisin, orange and peach meet subtle salinity and smoke. Vanilla, measured tannin and acidity lead into a long finish of mizunara oak and sweet smoke.

Read the relevant passageToward the sea air and the depth of layered casks
The layered cask composition and coastal maturation are explained on this page, but no food pairing is stated. The four directions below are read from the recorded aroma and taste structure. Three threads run through it: the depth of raisin, orange and peach; a subtle salinity carried by the coastal setting; and a long finish of mizunara oak and sweet smoke.
Food-pairing literature describes combining a smoky aroma with fruit richness or fat as a distinct approach to harmony. The layered fruit, salinity and sweet smoke that come from this whisky’s multiple casks tend to read as running the same construction as dishes with several layers of aroma.
Two maturation settings: coast and mountain.
Based in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, SAKURAO B&D works with two contrasting environments: the coastal setting of Sakurao and the mountain setting of Togouchi. Maturation site and cask are selected to give each expression a clearly defined profile.
