- Description
- Glenfiddich's Grand Yozakura represents a rare cross-cultural collaboration, aging this Speyside single malt for 29 years before finishing it in Japanese awamori casks—vessels that previously held the Okinawan rice spirit. Awamori's distinctive fermentation using koji and wild yeasts introduces unexpected floral, fruity, and savory dimensions that layer over Glenfiddich's inherent orchard fruit and honey character. The result is a complex, delicately balanced whisky with aromatic notes ranging from sakura blossom to tropical fruit, underpinned by creamy vanilla from the extended maturation. This is a collector's dram for those seeking the intersection of Scottish tradition and Japanese craftsmanship.
