Bouquet of notes of barley malt, earthy peat, and aromatic herbs with hints of cocoa and vanilla. Taste: the peat smoke envelops the notes of apple, ginger, vanilla, and brown sugar.

Matsui Whisky

In a magical corner of Japan, where the mountains embrace the sky and crystal-clear waters flow like ancient melodies, the Matsui distillery stands tall. Here, amidst breathtaking landscapes, the tradition of distillation comes to life in a perfect blend of nature and human craftsmanship. Matsui is more than just a distillery: it is a sanctuary of flavor, where barley and pure mountain water transform into poetic and refined elixirs.
Although the world of Japanese whisky is young compared to that of Scotland, Matsui is quickly establishing itself as an excellence in the international scene. The distillery has successfully combined the tradition of Japanese craftsmanship with an innovative approach, creating whiskies of rare finesse and balance. Its secret lies in the purity of the raw materials and the meticulous dedication with which each drop is distilled and aged.
One of the emblems of this dedication is The Kurayoshi Pure Malt, a symphony of aromas and flavors that evoke the landscape from which it originates. Each sip is a sensory journey that traverses nuances of dried fruit, vanilla, and spices, with a smooth and persistent finish that invites reflection and contemplation. This whisky represents the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, a liquid work of art that speaks of the land and the Japanese soul.

THE WHISKY
The Single Malt The Matsui 'The Peated' by Matsui Whisky is a peated Japanese whisky aged in former American white oak bourbon barrels before being bottled at 48% without the addition of colorants. The water used for dilution comes from the springs of Mount Daisen. The limited edition packaging is inspired by the work of Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Bouquet of barley malt notes, earthy peat, and aromatic herbs with hints of cocoa and vanilla. Taste: the peat smoke envelops notes of apple, ginger, vanilla, and brown sugar. Medium persistence finish, with smoke continuing to accompany us, followed by notes of grilled pineapple, apple, vanilla, and oak.
THE DISTILLERY
Matsui Whisky, founded by Japanese entrepreneur Shuzo Matsui, was established as an important selector and producer of exceptional Japanese whisky, sake, and shochu, a typical Japanese beverage obtained from the fermentation and subsequent distillation of sweet potatoes, barley, rice, or sesame. The Matsui Distillery is located in Tottori, the capital and prefecture of Honshū Island, along the western coast of Japan, famous for its sand dunes and its original Japanese whisky. The Tottori Whisky by Matsui is indeed a blended Japanese whisky known and appreciated worldwide for its elegance and refinement, with a soft and clean taste, offered in various bottlings and types to satisfy even the most refined palates. Matsui Whisky also produces and bottles perhaps the most representative line of the company: the Kurayoshi. This range is named after the Kurayoshi Distillery, a distillery controlled and managed by Matsui, which for several years has been producing this Japanese whisky directly using artisanal methods and in small batches. The company philosophy is as simple as it is fascinating, that is to provide the consumer with the best possible experience, enjoying a sip of Japanese tradition and culture. The small distillery uses simple ingredients, such as spring water from the Daisen Mountains and the extensive experience of its staff to ensure this excellence, offering various Pure Malt whiskies in the “Kurayoshi” line and Blended Japanese Whiskies with the “The Tottori” line.
