Saburomaru II The High Priestess 48% 700mL
🥃 Saburomaru II "The High Priestess" offers whisky enthusiasts a refined and unique experience, highlighted by its innovative distillation process.
This expression is crafted by Saburomaru Distillery in Japan, utilizing Takaoka Copperware's "ZEMON" cast iron stills, a first for the distillery. The combination of copper and tin enhances the whisky's smoothness and sophistication, while the use of highly peated malted barley and bourbon cask aging brings depth and character.
The whisky's profile is robust, featuring a smoky intensity balanced by sweet undertones from the bourbon casks. Unfiltered and natural, it retains its authentic flavors, offering a genuine taste of Japanese craftsmanship.
At 48%, it delivers a full-bodied and complex profile, perfect for enjoying neat or with a splash of water to explore its intricate layers.
