Kurayoshi Pure Malt is a whiskey of Japanese origin, made from 100% malted barley whiskey, sent from Scotland to Japan where it will later be blended with the distillate of that country where it is aged for three years in ex-bourbon oak barrels and filtered with volcanic stone and eons which results in a higher purity of filtered water. Distilled in a copper still that ends a rather peculiar process and with the result of an exquisite whisky.

Nose: Sweet oak and honey, with a hint of earthy peat.

Palate: Sherried malt comes through first with notes of raisin and cinnamon, shortly followed by toasted nuts and vanilla pod.

Finish: Touches of fresh fruit sharpness and floral barley.

Alc: 43%
