Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whiskey (750 ml)
Description
A blended malt from little-known Japanese whisky producer, Matsui Shuzou. Made with whiskies sourced from Scottish distilleries, blended with Japanese whisky and volcanic-stone-filtered water. The distillery is located in the Tottori Prefecture, the least populous prefecture in Japan, well-known for its sand dunes.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Sweet oak and honey, with a hint of earthy peat.
- Palate: Sherried malt comes through first with notes of raisin and cinnamon, shortly followed by toasted nuts and vanilla pod.
- Finish: Touches of fresh fruit sharpness and floral barley.
