THE DISTILLERY
Matsui Whisky, founded by the Japanese entrepreneur Shuzo Matsui, was established as an important selector and producer of exceptional Japanese whisky, sake, and shochu, a typical Japanese drink 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 smooth 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 takes its name from the Kurayoshi Distillery, a distillery controlled and managed by Matsui, which has been producing this Japanese whisky directly with artisanal methods and in small batches for several years. The company's philosophy is as simple as it is captivating, namely 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 Whisky with the “The Tottori” line.
