This 963 bottle from Yamazakura, Sasanokawa Shuzo, was very recently released for the Japanese market, with only a limited number of bottles available. The Black label edition is more intense than the Red label edition, with a subtle hint of peat coming through, and a light earthiness mellowing it out. If you’re looking for a new, exciting Japanese whisky to try, the Yamazakura 963 is a must!

Sasanokawa is the oldest sake brewery in Japan's northeastern Tohoku region, with a history stretching back to 1765. Around 180 years later, in 1946, they branched out into whiskey, eventually launching the Cherry Whisky and Yamazakura brands. 

Nose:Soft cereal malt with a hints of smoke and roasted nuts. 

Taste: Dry with a touch of honey sweetness, spice and smokey malt developing into a dry smoky peat finish.
