The 12-year-old Kurayoshi is a blend of pure malt whiskies aged in oak barrels that have contained bourbon.
Aromas of nuts, hazelnuts and almonds dominate, followed by a rich malty texture, with notes of vanilla and raisins, accompanied by a light smoky flavor in perfect balance with sweetness, bitterness and acidity of this vintage.
*Filtration for whiskies : "chill filtered" or "non-chill filtered", Matsui Whisky seems to have selected the "non-chill filtered" to maximize the flavor and taste cultivated during barrel aging, knowing that there is a risk of precipitation and cloudiness.
For our range of Matsui whiskies, in order to maintain quality with the original technology, the craftsmen do not perform cooling filtration*, so particles may occur. This is not a defect, this is natural. The components are derived from wheat and fermentation and are mainly umami and flavors.
The Matsui Shuzo distillery was originally renowned for its sake and shochu. They confirmed their fame by making exceptional whiskies under the name Kurayoshi, "life is good" in Japanese.
