Saburomaru 1960 55 Year Old
Subtitle (S1)
An impressive 55-year-old single malt, distilled at Saburomaru in 1960 using an unusualy continuous still from France known as an allospas. Until matched by Yamazaki in 2020, this was the oldest single malt Japanese whisky ever bottled.
This was only the third unblended bottling of Saburomaru whisky and the first to be branded as such.
