Frequently asked
What is awamori?
Awamori is a traditional Okinawan distilled spirit made from long-grain Thai indica rice — one of Japan's oldest distilled beverages. Awamori casks (used to mature awamori) are extremely rare outside Japan, making this Glenfiddich release genuinely unique.
Why the cherry blossom theme?
"Yozakura" means "night cherry blossoms" — a celebrated Japanese cultural moment. The name and presentation celebrate the Japanese-Scottish cultural crossover embodied by the awamori cask finish.
Is this a good investment?
Rare limited-edition Glenfiddich releases with unique cask finishes typically perform well in secondary markets. Cherry blossom / Japanese-themed limited editions have particular resonance with Japanese and Asian collectors.
