THE WHISKY
The Pure Malt Whisky The Kurayoshi '12 Years Old' by Matsui Whisky is a blend of single malts aged for at least 12 years in barrels that previously contained bourbon whisky and bottled at a classic 43% vol. Bouquet of candied orange, vanilla, grains, and a slight floral note. On the palate, notes of barley malt combine with those of apple, pear, and green grass. A short finish with notes of vanilla, honey, lemon zest, and ginger.
THE DISTILLERY
The Matsui Distillery is located on the coast of the Tottori Prefecture – in the southern area of Honshu Island – well known for its sandy dunes. The whiskies produced by Matsui are distilled with pure spring water from the Daisen Mountains. The production of Matsui is small and artisanal, and the available stocks of Kurayoshi Whisky are very limited. This makes this collection particularly sought after and valuable.
