Matsui 5 Year Sakura 5 Year Single Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2025 New Cheap Online

The 5 Year Single Cask Sakura Whisky was carefully selected by the owners of Pacific Edge Wine & Spirits, Joel Beth and Rich Trachtenberg, during their trip to Japan in February 2023. This particular batch was aged in a 220 liter cask made from the wood of Sakura trees, also known as cherry blossom trees. Unlike other cherry trees, Sakura trees do not bear fruit but are known for their iconic pink and white flowers that bloom for a short time each spring, symbolizing luck, love, and the fleeting nature of life. The unique flavors of the Sakura wood come through in this whisky, offering bold red fruit, delicate floral scents, and a touch of exotic incense.

This whisky is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its flavors. Keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Avoid shaking the bottle too vigorously as it may affect the taste. When opening, do it gently to preserve the integrity of the whisky. Sip slowly and savor the unique blend of flavors that the Sakura wood aging has imparted.
