Kurayoshi

In the enchanted lands of Japan, where tradition and innovation blend in a harmonious embrace, lies the small yet prestigious Kurayoshi distillery. This fascinating establishment, although young in the global scene, has already earned a place of honor in the hearts of whisky enthusiasts. Nestled in a region that enhances the purity and quality of raw materials, Kurayoshi represents a bridge between the centuries-old Japanese tradition and a modern vision of distillation.
The heart of Kurayoshi's production is the malted barley, carefully cultivated and selected, which, together with the crystalline water from the Japanese mountains, forms the base of a whisky that is an ode to minerality and balance. The distillery is known for its approach that respects and values the surrounding nature, combining traditional techniques with a contemporary sensitivity aimed at sustainability and authenticity.
Among the standout labels, Kurayoshi Pure Malt is distinguished by its elegance and complexity. With notes that evoke hints of vanilla, delicate spices, and a touch of peat, this whisky tells a story of refined harmony and artisanal wisdom. Each sip is a journey through the misty mountains of Japan, an experience that speaks of time, patience, and mastery.

THE WHISKEY
The Kurayoshi Pure Malt 'Sherry Cask' is a Japanese Whisky produced by Matsui Whisky. Aged in oak barrels for over 3 years and then finished in sherry casks. Notes of ripe fruit and chocolate with additional notes of citrus and lemongrass. Sweetness and acidity balance elegantly.
THE DISTILLERY
The Matsui Distillery is located on the coast of the Prefecture of Tottori – 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.
