Tasting Notes

This 18-year-old Kurayoshi blended malt whisky promises a delightful journey for your senses. Initially, it greets you with a hint of freshly cut grass, swiftly followed by the comforting aromas of buttered bread and the woody notes of aromatic oak. As you take a sip, the flavors unfold like a captivating story. Fresh orange zest dances with the smokiness of black tea, while a pinch of cumin powder adds an intriguing twist. The sweetness of brown sugar complements the flavors, creating a harmonious blend. The finish lingers with the warmth of vanilla, leaving a subtle smoky trail as a reminder of the whisky's complexity. Crafted by the Matsui Shuzou distillery, this blend is a true masterpiece, combining Scottish and Japanese malt whiskies, meticulously blended and brought to bottling strength with volcanic-rock-filtered water, ensuring a truly exceptional drinking experience.
