Kurayoshi 8YO

Founded in 1910, Matsui Whisky is located in Tottori Prefecture, northwest of Kyoto, on the shore of the Sea of Japan. With a house philosophy to create “whisky to be loved by everyone,” Matsui offers a range of 100% Japanese-distilled single malt whiskies, as well as pure malt and blended whiskies, gin, and umeshu. Known historically as both a sake brewery and shochu distillery, Matsui is now recognized the world over for whisky production thanks to its Kurayoshi Distillery. Named for the city in which the distillery is located, the name Kurayoshi originates from the phrase kurashiyoshi and translates to “good living“.

The Kurayoshi Japanese Pure Malt Whisky 8 Year Old reflects maturation in carefully selected new American white oak casks. This aging brings a depth of rich aromas and vanilla notes to this whisky. Kurayoshi Pure Malt 8 Year Old benefits from the pure waters from the volcanic rocks of the Daisen volcano and gives this Japanese whisky a unique finish. This Kurayoshi 8 years old is a compromise between power and roundness. Not cold filtered.
