✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant and constructed by hand with the help of his family, Glenfiddich Distillery is situated in the heart of Dufftown in Scotland's renowned Speyside region. Still independently owned by William Grant & Sons, the distillery made history in 1963 by pioneering the international single malt Scotch whisky category beyond traditional blended scotch. Glenfiddich crafts its spirits using the pristine waters of the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, distilling through distinctive copper pot stills and maintaining its own on-site cooperage to oversee maturation in premium American and European oak casks. Renowned worldwide for its iconic triangular bottle, the distillery produces an acclaimed spectrum of single malts characterized by signature orchard-fruit aromas, crisp green pear, delicate floral notes, and remarkable depth in its rare vintage releases.
