Kurayoshi | 12 Year Old

This is the 12 year old Kurayoshi expression – a blended malt from the little-known Matsui Shuzou distillery in Japan’s Tottori Prefecture. These whiskies are made with malts sources from Scotland, then blended with Japanese whisky and volcanic-rock-filtered water. Nose: Flamed orange peel and lemongrass, with a touch of rye bread dough. Palate: Aromatic barley with a floral edge, develops a fruity core of apple and white grape soon after. Finish: Lime, ginger and a whiff of smoke.
