Sakurao Single Malt Sauternes Cask

Sakurao Brewery & Distillery is located in an ideal geographical location for whisky production. Hiroshima is blessed with a natural environment consisting of coastal and mountainous areas. Warm winds from the sea and cold winds from the mountains ensure that large temperature differences prevail throughout the year. This helps to accelerate the maturation process of the whisky.

The Sakurao Sauterne Cask offers exclusive enjoyment - on its own, for special moments or as a fine gift for discerning whisky lovers.

SAKURAO Brewery & Distillery was founded under the name Chugoku Jozo in 1918 in the Sakurao district of Hatsukaichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture. Initially a producer of shochu and sake, the company has been producing the famous Togouchi whisky since 1990, for which the distillates are imported from Scotland and Canada. Only the storage and blending are carried out by the SAKURAO Brewery. However, storage takes place in a very special place: the city's 361-metre-long railroad tunnel, which has never been completed, is used to store the fine spirits. The temperature here is 14 degrees Celsius all year round and the humidity is 80%, ideal conditions for maturing shochu and whisky.

Since December 2017, the company has been involved in the production of Western craft spirits following the establishment of another production facility, the Sakurao Distillery. The first spirit is the Sakurao Gin Original, followed shortly afterwards by special editions of this gin series, the Sakurao Gin Limited and the Sakurao Gin Hamagou, both in small quantities. The hundred years of experience in the production of spirits is certainly one reason why Sakurao Gin tastes so fantastic. In 2018, the company then released its natural liqueur series with "Hassaku Rocks", "Yuzu Rocks" and "Lemon Rocks". 2021 sees the release of the company's first single malt whisky. In March 2021, the company changed its name to SAKURAO Brewery and Distillery Co. Ltd.
