Kurayoshi Sherry Cask

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“.

This Pure Malt Sherry Cask expresses itself on the nose with notes of ripe fruits and chocolate coming from the maturation in sherry casks for more than 3 years. The palate mimics the nose with additional notes of citrus and lemongrass. The flavor is very balanced. It is subtly reduced with Daisen Mountain spring water. Not cold filtered.
