Blended Japanese Whisky, 40% ABV
The Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whisky is an artisanal blended malt produced by Matsui Shuzo in the Tottori Prefecture of Japan. It is characterized by its use of soft, pure spring water filtered through volcanic rock from Mount Daisen.
This "pure malt" (or blended malt) is a fusion of whiskies sourced from Scotland and Japan, which are then aged and blended at the Matsui distillery. It is known for a smooth, approachable profile that emphasizes traditional Japanese craftsmanship and high-quality natural ingredients.
