Yamazakura Blended Whisky Black Label is an elegant Japanese blended whisky that combines Japan’s rich whisky heritage with a harmonious and approachable flavour profile. This whisky is produced by a small Japanese distillery and falls into the category of so-called ‘Ji-whiskies’, a term used to describe regional whiskies from small producers. Since its launch in 2015, Yamazakura Black Label has been regarded outside Japan as a comparatively rare bottling, offering whisky connoisseurs an interesting insight into the diversity of Japanese distilling. At 40% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box, this whisky is a stylish bottling for connoisseurs.


The name Yamazakura combines the Japanese terms for ‘mountain’ (Yama) and ‘cherry blossom’ (Sakura), reflecting its close connection to Japanese culture. Yamazakura Blended Whisky Black Label is characterised by its smooth character and a balanced combination of fruity, sweet and slightly spicy notes. Its harmonious structure, with hints of honey and chocolate, makes it appealing to both newcomers to the world of Japanese whisky and experienced connoisseurs.
