Hailing from the legendary Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside, the Grand Yozakura is a groundbreaking 29-year-old single malt that represents a poetic collision of Scottish and Japanese craftsmanship. Part of Glenfiddich's prestigious Grand Series, this expression pays homage to 'Yozakura'—the ethereal practice of viewing cherry blossoms by night. The whisky is first matured for nearly three decades in American and European oak casks before undergoing a rare, six-month finish in casks that previously held Awamori, Okinawa's ancient, rice-based distilled spirit. This unique finish infuses the classic Speyside orchard fruit and vanilla profile with exotic herbal notes, light oak, and a distinctively dry, mineral complexity, bridging centuries-old traditions from two distinct island nations.
