Peach, caramel, and warm nutmeg on the nose. Toffee sweetness with roasted nutty depth on the palate. Rich and enduring finish with warmth that settles slowly.

What wood is used to finishSakhrani Kuri Edition?

Japanese Kuri (chestnut) wood — one of the rarest woods used in whisky finishing worldwide. Dense and slow-growing, it imparts a warming, roasted character unlike any European oak. Each wood used only once.

Where is Sakhrani whisky made?

Sakhrani's proprietary blend is aged in ex-bourbon casks in Scotland — building depth, balance and structure before its journey east. It is then finished in rare Japanese woods in Yanbaru, northern Okinawa, where Ogimi's ultra-soft water and the subtropical climate of the UNESCO forest shape its final character. A whisky that carries Scotland's craft and Okinawa's spirit.

Is Sakhrani whisky non-chill filtered?

Yes. All Sakhrani expressions are bottled at 47% ABV, non-chill filtered, and contain no added colour. This preserves the whisky's natural body, texture, and the full depth of character imparted by the rare Japanese wood finishes.

Tasting Notes

Character

Finished in rare Japanese chestnut wood, deep between Yanbaru forest and the East China Sea. Kuri is the warmest expression in the Sakhrani trilogy. Peach and caramel open on the nose with warm nutmeg. On the palate, toffee sweetness gives way to roasted, nutty depth — full-bodied but never heavy. The finish is long, warm, and quietly comforting.

Nose

Peach · Caramel · Nutmeg

Peach, caramel, and warm nutmeg rise on the nose — inviting, rounded, instantly approachable. Chestnut warmth present, never insistent.

Palate

Toffee · Roasted Nut · Gentle Oak

Toffee sweetness with roasted, nutty depth. Full-bodied but never heavy. Warmth without weight.

Finish

Long · Warm · Comforting

Rich and enduring. A warmth that settles slowly. It doesn't ask anything of you except that you stay a little longer.

Wood

Japanese Kuri (chestnut) is rarely used in whisky production worldwide. Dense and slow-growing, it imparts a uniquely warming, roasted character.
