A lovely nose of walnut wine and orange liqueur leads to a powerful, almost phenolic palate with orange cordial, pink peppercorns and charcoal.

Saburomaru Distillery is a Japanese whisky distillery in Toyama owned by Wakatsuru Shuzo. Wakatsuru began whisky production in 1952, and the distillery was rebuilt in 2017.
A lovely nose of walnut wine and orange liqueur leads to a powerful, almost phenolic palate with orange cordial, pink peppercorns and charcoal.
A complex blend of Highland and Islay peat, balancing citrus and orchard fruits with vegetal peat, seaweed, herbs, and oaky sweetness.
Nice and clean with apple, pear, citrus peel, herbal tea and gentle peat, though it becomes somewhat narrow and austere with limited depth.
