A blended whisky from Japan's Yamazakura range, which is brought to market by Japanese company Sasanokawa Shuzo. The name itself a portmanteau of two Japanese terms 'Yama' means 'mountain' and 'Sakura' means cherry tree. If you think about it, a portmanteau is kind of like a blend but with words, so this name is rather apt for a Japanese blended whisky.
Orange blossom and subtle notes of earthy oak.
Fresh orchard fruit, salted-caramel-coated biscuit, greengages.
Medium length, rich in vanilla.
Waste of money
Too agressive, not subtle
The title says it all. I tasted it at the local liquor store and couldn't find anything special about it, especially at 60$. I'll pass on this one.
I don't know why I would get this over an singlemalt, a decent whisky though which is a little bit overpriced!
Very nice and smooth blend!
