KRY-PUREMALT-12YO-WHISKY
2 Items
Founded in 1910, Matsui Shuzo is located in the Tottori Prefecture, Northwest of Kyoto and Northeast of Hiroshima, on the shore of the Sea of Japan. Over 14% of the prefecture is a Natural park, packed with lush vegetation, rugged coastlines, rivers, and lakes.
To be clear, Matsui Shuzo is known in Japan as both a sake brewery and shochu distillery. While the juice in Kurayoshi is 100% malted barley, the spirits themselves have been sourced from distilleries around Scotland before making their journey to Japan, where they are blended with Japanese-distilled malted barley then aged (3-18 years). The whisky is then proofed down with the famously soft ground waters of Tottori Prefecture. All expressions of Kurayoshi are non-chill filtered, with no caramel added, and over 40% ABV.

THE WHISKY
Pure Malt Whisky The Kurayoshi '12 Years Old' by Matsui Whisky is a blended of single malts aged for at least 12 years in barrels that previously contained bourbon whiskey and bottled at a classic 43% vol. Bouquet of notes of candied orange, vanilla, cereals and a light floral scent. On the palate notes of barley malt are combined with those of apple, pear and green grass. Short persistent finish with notes of vanilla, honey, lemon zest and ginger.
THE DISTILLERY
Matsui Distillery is located on the coast of Tottori Prefecture - in the area south of the island of Honshu - well known for its sand dunes. The whiskies produced by Matsui are distilled with pure ultra-pure water from the Daisen Mountains. The production of Matsui is small and artisanal and the available stocks of Kurayoshi Whiskey are very limited. This makes this collection particularly refined and precious.
