Detailed Description
Even the most ardent fans of Japanese whisky would be forgiven not to have heard of the Matsui distillery. Located in Tottori, a coastal prefecture on southern Honshu mostly known for its sand dunes. It is also the location of Matsui Breweries, which makes traditional Japanese sake and shochu, as well as whisky. This bottle, the Kurayoshi Malt Whisky 8 Year Old Sherry Cask has gained attention in Japan, as ji-whisky makers tend to be far more modest when it comes to ageing than Matsui is. We were quite impressed with this new offering, and we bet that you will be as well. And as far as we know, we are the only shop outside of Japan to stock it, and as there is only one bottle in stock, you better hurry up before it’s too late!

Distillery Information
Matsui is historically known in Japan as both a sake brewery and shochu distillery. While the juice in Kurayoshi is 100% malted barley, the spirits themselves have been sourced from distilleries around Scotland before making their journey to Japan.
