For this bottling, casks were used that previously held the sweet botrytis wines of Sauternes: dense, wine-soaked oak with concentrated fruit sugars in the wood structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, a clear honey note emerges, alongside candied citrus peel and ripe mango. The palate is soft and slightly oily, with a vanilla cream note from the barrel aging. Towards the end, a subtle saltiness emerges, balancing the sweetness and making the finish longer than expected. 50% ABV, brought down to drinking strength without dilution—this gives the texture substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Neat in a nosing glass at room temperature — the aroma unfolds slowly and fully without ice. For a lighter taste, add a drop of still water. A harmonious choice as a digestif after a Japanese meal or with mature soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakurao Brewery and Distillery Co., Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52694979346768,"sku":"V33588","price":115.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/4901903068912_C1N1_s01_v01_800x800_ea70b76f-a4bf-46cf-b8a9-f40af2e9d8b8.png?v=1771238336"},{"product_id":"sakurao-single-malt","title":"Sakurao Single Malt","description":"Discover Sakurao Single Malt, an exceptional whisky that will seduce your senses and create unforgettable moments of pleasure.
