Tasting Notes

Nose

Gentle soft cherry blossom florals — reminiscent of a Japanese garden during Hanami season, delicate and perfumed

Palate

Sakura floral perfumery entering with gentle sweetness — savoury umami of sea salt and soy like sakura mochi, then yuzu, black tea and growing sansho-cinnamon-coriander heat

Finish

Prickly sansho pepper with chilli and cinnamon — tannic roasted black tea undertone with sea salt and lingering mintiness, the cherry blossom memory fading like the real season

Expert Review

7.2/10

Roku's Sakura Bloom edition channels the fleeting beauty of cherry blossom season into a refined London Dry that prizes elegance and restraint, though it stops just short of extraordinary at 7.2/10.
