Wakatsuru Saburomaru Saburomaru Gyokuto

Saburomaru Gyokuto, in its 2021 global market edition, is a no age statement blend from Wakatsuru Shuzo in Toyama prefecture, bottled at 46% for international distribution. The Gyokuto name appears across several Saburomaru releases and here represents the distillery's broadly targeted expression: a blend matured in Ex-Bourbon casks and presented without an age declaration.

Ex-Bourbon oak gives the foundation of vanilla and light toasted wood that is typical of this maturation style, and the Saburomaru house character, rooted in heavy peat production, usually contributes background smoke even in blended formats. No specific flavour profile or component detail is recorded for this edition, so the character is best understood as broadly typical of Wakatsuru's peated and Ex-Bourbon-influenced house style from Toyama. At 46%, this global release sits at a moderate and accessible bottling strength.
