What wood is used to finishSakhrani Sakura Edition?

Japanese Sakura cherry blossom wood — delicate by nature, poetic and intensely floral. Sakura amplifies floral notes and softens bold flavours. The rarest of the three woods used by Sakhrani. 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 cherry blossom wood, deep between Yanbaru forest and the East China Sea. Sakura is the most elegant expression in the Sakhrani trilogy — delicate, precise, entirely its own. Cherry blossom and pomegranate open with quiet radiance on the nose. Vanilla and soft fruit follow on the palate with precision and restraint. The finish is clean, floral, and perfectly measured — like spring, arriving exactly when it should.

Cherry blossom and pomegranate on the first breath. Fresh. Quietly radiant. A nose that belongs to golden hour.

Palate

Vanilla · Soft Fruit · Delicate Spice

Vanilla and soft fruit in elegant accord. Light, refined, quietly expressive.

Finish

Clean and measured. The floral note remains long after the glass is empty. A quiet echo, exact and purposeful.

Wood
