Yamazakura Single Malt Asaka 2023 Edition – A Hidden Gem from Fukushima's Historic Distillery

This exceptional Yamazakura Single Malt Asaka 2023 Edition represents the refined artistry 
of Sasanokawa Shuzo's Asaka Distillery, one of Japan's most historic whisky producers. 
Released in April 2023, this limited edition showcases the distillery's signature bright, 
citrus-forward character and masterful blending expertise.

DISTILLERY HERITAGE

Founded in 1765, Sasanokawa Shuzo is one of Japan's oldest sake breweries. The company 
obtained its whisky license in 1946 (as Yamazakura Shuzo) and revived whisky production 
in 2016 at the Asaka Distillery. Using pure spring water from the Aizu region and 
traditional Scottish pot stills, Asaka creates whiskies with a distinctively fresh, 
elegant character.

The 2023 Edition has earned international recognition, winning bronze at the World 
Whiskies Awards 2023 in the Single Malt No Age Statement category.

　WHAT MAKES THIS SPECIAL

This single malt is meticulously crafted from:

• Primarily bourbon barrel-matured non-peated Asaka malt (the heart of the blend)
• Carefully selected peated malt for subtle aromatic complexity
• Water from the legendary Asaka Canal (Bandai mountain spring water - soft water)
• 100% single distillery - all malts distilled and matured at Asaka

The whisky embodies Asaka's signature style: gentle yet flavorful, with refreshing 
citrus character and balanced sweetness - a perfect harmony of Japanese craftsmanship 
and Scottish tradition.
