Description

This malt is brewed with the strongest phenol content in Saburomaru's history, a super heavily peated barley from the Highlands with an 80 ppm phenol content. The intense smoke, reminiscent of the dry earth, scorches the air, and the aftertaste resonates powerfully like the rumbling of wheels. It symbolizes the determination to face difficulties and the independence to move forward without relying on anyone. The path that Saburomaru paves is always one that leads to challenge and charging forward.

Nose
A vivid waft of coastal smoke - briny and smouldering - rises first, carrying echoes of Islay peat laced with sea air. Beneath it, a rich sweetness unfurls: toasted marshmallow, vanilla pod, and charred coconut. Hints of orchard fruit - baked pear and yellow apple - emerge as it opens, grounded by an earthy undertone from the Toyama-grown malt.
Palate
First comes the peat: robust and maritime, with notes of driftwood embers and scorched herbs. Then, the roasted first-fill bourbon casks make their presence known - layers of crème brûlée, grilled banana, and cinnamon bark swirl with dark chocolate and cracked black pepper.
Finish
Long and smouldering. Dry smoke lingers on the tongue, accompanied by roasted almond, sweet oak, and a flicker of grapefruit peel. A final note of granite-cooled spring water leaves.
