The standard Iwai Tradition blend further finished in casks made from sakura wood, the distinctly Japanese cherry tree species, adding a subtle floral, slightly tannic, and uniquely Japanese cask character to the base whisky.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSakura wood casks are a rare and distinctly Japanese finishing approach — the same cherry blossom tree that defines Japanese spring symbolism contributes a soft floral and gentle tannic profile to maturing whisky that no other wood produces. The combination of the Mars Shinshu Nagano-Alps base whisky with the sakura cask finish creates an expression deeply rooted in Japanese terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mars Shinshu, Miyada Village, Nagano, Japan (est. 1949; relocated 1984)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Blended Whisky — Iwai Tradition Sakura Cask Finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sakura (Japanese cherry) wood casks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mars-shinshu\"\u003eMars Shinshu collection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mars Shinshu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904203526215,"sku":"SK 4976881520592","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/IwaiBlended.jpg?v=1782422965","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/mars-shinshu-iwai-tradition-sakura-cask-whisky","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
