Kurayoshi Pure Malt 700ml -- Japanese Whisky

A blended malt from little-known Japanese whisky producer, Matsui Shuzou. It's made with whiskies sourced from Scottish distilleries, blended with Japanese whisky and volcanic-stone-filtered water. The distillery is located in the Tottori Prefecture, the least populous prefecture in Japan. Sherried malt comes through first with notes of raisin and cinnamon, shortly followed by toasted nuts and vanilla pod. Pleasant floral barley finish too.

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%
