Kurayoshi Pure Malt 12 Year Old Whisky

Even the most ardent fans of Japanese whisky would be forgiven not to have heard of the Matsui distillery. Located in Tottori, a coastal prefecture on southern Honshu mostly known for its sand dunes, it is also the location of Matsui Breweries, which makes traditional Japanese sake and shochu, as well as whisky. This bottle, the Kurayoshi Pure Malt 12-Year-Old is one of the finest things this distillery has produced.

Rich aroma of almonds, smoke and malty goodness with pronounced peat, highlighting the long maturation in wood.
