This unique expression of Saburomaru whisky showcases the distillery's adventurous spirit and dedication to crafting distinctive spirits. Situated in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture, the Saburomaru Distillery was established in 1952 by Wakatsuro Shuzo, an esteemed sake brewery. 1  The distillery's commitment to innovation is evident in this limited edition, which combines the complexity of Japanese whisky with the intriguing notes of Caribbean rum. 

This bottling underwent a finishing phase in ex-Boso rum casks, imparting a vibrant and intriguing dimension to the whisky. Boso, a revered rum produced in Japan, adds a unique layer of tropical fruit and spice to the Saburomaru's signature profile. The result is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, offering a truly exceptional drinking experience.

On the nose, this whisky captivates with its medley of aromas. The inviting sweetness of vanilla and caramel is intertwined with the fruity essence of ripe bananas and pineapple. A subtle hint of spice, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, adds complexity and warmth. On the palate, the flavors are rich and nuanced. The sweetness of the rum cask shines through, showcasing notes of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and a touch of oaky spice. The finish is remarkably long and satisfying, leaving a trail of lingering sweetness and a touch of rum's distinctive tang.
