Saburomaru's Releases First Minor Arcana 'Ace Of Wands' Single Cask In Tarot Series
Saburomaru Distillery is debuting its new Tarot-inspired Minor Arcana single cask series with the launch of the Ace of Wands on Nov 19.
Taking visual and thematic inspiration from the titular Minor Arcana, this bottling marks the inaugural release in the Japanese distillery's upcoming collection, and is based on the Distillery's philosophy of "The Ultimate Peat".
The inaugural bottling features a single cask distilled in 2019, the landmark year Saburomaru introduced its cast-iron pot still. Matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, the liquid is said to marry a vibrant, lifted fruitiness with the powerful yet refined character of the distillery's signature heavy-peat spirit.
The bottle features a design derived from traditional Japanese paper-cutting art, executed directly onto the glass through precision sandblasting and crafted in collaboration with regional artisans and manufacturers across Toyama Prefecture.
Included in each purchase of the first release is a dedicated LED display stand.
Bottled at 59% ABV, each expression has an MSRP of ¥60,000 for a 700ml format, and will be available only in select bars and restaurants.
