Description

Matsui The Kurayoshi 18 Year Old Japanese Whisky is an aged pure malt expression from Matsui Shuzo, produced in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. It is matured for 18 years in white oak casks, bringing together sweetness, soft smoke, oak influence, and a polished profile. This premium whisky is known for its depth, complexity, and balance, proofed with soft groundwater from Mount Daisen. It has received multiple awards, including 'Japanese Whisky of the Year' in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022 and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021.
