Kurayoshi Pure Malt
Founded in 1910 “Matsui Shuzou” is located in the Tottori Prefecture, northwest of Kyoto on the shore of the Sea of Japan. Aged for more than 3 years in ex-bourbon white oak casks. It has a soft and refreshing fragrance of malted barley complimented by sweet notes of rum raisins, malt and vanilla. The finish is light, a subtle reminder of the Tottori pure spring water which is used in the distillation process. This whisky is non chill-filtered.
