The sake chosen for this charity bottle is an unblended sake from Saburomaru Distillery, distilled in 2020 using inland peat. Aged for three years and five months in Bourbon barrels, this single cask single malt Japanese whisky was bottled in 2024 at a strength of 61%.\n\nSaburomaru Distillery's signature flavor is a single malt with a noticeable peaty taste. Although the three-year age period may not seem long, the finished product has a composition that fully showcases its uniqueness, a delicate texture, and a mildly bitter aroma. Furthermore, this edition is distinguished by a pronounced smokiness that pervades the finish due to the use of malt manufactured with inland Scottish peat instead of Islay peat.\n\nA powerful smokiness emanating from the top notes is the scent of this release. Earthy and smoky malt aromas blend with citrus notes evocative of grapefruit and lemon peel. Tastes of delicate malt sweetness on the mouth, subsequently followed by a powerful smokiness and bitterness from the peat, all mingled with the same citrus scent. With hints of lemon cotton and burnt straw, the finish is strong and peaty, with a fiery spirit that enters the body through the throat and lingers in the center.\n\nWakatsuru Sake Brewery and Saburomaru Distillery introduced and launched the Saburomaru Noto Charity Bottle Single Cask 2024 on January 9th, and on January 16th, a press release was released to raise funds for those affected of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Hoping that this subtle yet potent flavor would encourage the fastest recovery, bring joy to the devastated areas, and conveysincere sympathies to all those impacted by the tragic event.\n\nThe label features a picture of the Noto Peninsula's Mitsuke Island. It's a well-known location that serves as a symbol of Noto and was reportedly destroyed by the most recent earthquake. The picture of those days and the risingsunis captured in the Noto Charity Bottle to express the wish to recover.","brand":"Wakatsuru Saburomaru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45699785556204,"sku":"S121","price":749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0906\/7500\/files\/Saburomaru-Noto-Charity-Bottle-Single-Cask-2024-1.webp?v=1725746415"},{"product_id":"sun-shine-extra-special-whisky-1953","title":"Sun Shine Extra Special Whisky 1953","description":"This is a very rare and collectible single malt whisky, which was distilled over 20 years ago by Wakatsuru Shozou Distillery – one of the long established, but not the best known Japanese distilleries.

This harmonious union of these two distinct types of whisky results in an intense and perfectly balanced tasting experience.\n\nNotably, The Sun whisky undergoes no artificial coloring or cold filtering processes, ensuring that its authentic and natural character remains fully intact. Its true essence unfolds gracefully with each tasting, revealing distinct notes at every stage of the journey.\n\nUpon nosing this exceptional whisky, you'll encounter a complexity of aromas, including hints of oak and a subtle touch of smoked peat. The palate, meanwhile, offers a rich and captivating experience, with flavors reminiscent of barbecue sauce, dark chocolate, and orange marmalade blending seamlessly together. The finish is enduring, leaving a delicate, spicy, and smoky impression that lingers on the palate.\n\nOne of the key components of this blend is the peated malt whisky distilled in 2018 at Saburomaru, which is aged primarily in sherry casks and Mizunara oak barrels from Toga, Toyama Prefecture. This aging process infuses the whisky with peaty notes and imparts a spicy character from the Mizunara wood.\n\nThe imported grain whiskies, on the other hand, initially matured in Scotland and further developed their character in Japan, where they spent time in Nagano red wine casks and roasted casks made in Inami. This unique aging process adds a smooth texture to the whisky and contributes to the overall harmony of the blend.\n\nThe Sun 2022 promises an unforgettable tasting experience, characterized by its aromatic complexity, lush mouthfeel, and lingering finish. It stands as an excellent choice for enthusiasts of Japanese blended whiskies with robust character, such as Suntory Hibiki or Nikka From The Barrel.\n\nOrder your bottle of Saburomaru Whisky “The Sun” 2022 today and experience the artistry and legacy that this single-cask whisky offers.","brand":"Wakatsuru Saburomaru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700200890604,"sku":"N4262","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0906\/7500\/files\/N4262.png?v=1725767414"},{"product_id":"wakatsuru-junenmyo-manzanilla-cask-finish","title":"Wakatsuru Junenmyo Manzanilla Cask Finish","description":"This Wakatsuru Junenmyo is a smooth, fruity blended whisky that was given a finishing period in a Manzanilla cask that has added gentle background spices to the delicious spirit.
