Saburomaru The Sun 2023 is a Japanese blended whisky from Wakatsuru Shuzo. Musashiya’s product page states that the whisky combines mostly 2018-distilled Saburomaru malt matured in Mizunara and sherry casks with house-matured grain whisky aged over 12 years in toasted cooperage and Nagano wine casks, while an independent review describes a spicy, gently peated profile that shows well on the rocks or in a highball.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Independent review notes gentle peat and faint citrus, with additional chocolate notes after a little water.
- Palate: Spicy at first, then creamy with restrained sweetness, wood depth and a gradually emerging bitterness.
- Finish: The reviewer found it especially successful on the rocks or in a highball, where sweetness and smoke show more clearly.
Best For
Drinkers exploring modern Japanese blends with peated malt influence, Mizunara/sherry cask complexity and strong highball potential.
