Description

Matsui Shuzo is a Japanese distillery that has been producing high-quality spirits for over a century. The Kurayoshi 12-year-old whisky is a testament to their dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The history of Matsui Shuzo dates back to 1910 when the founder, Kurayoshi Matsui, established the distillery in Tottori Prefecture. The distillery was originally focused on producing sake, but in the 1940s, they began to produce whisky as well. Over the years, Matsui Shuzo has gained a reputation for producing some of the finest Japanese whiskies on the market.

The Kurayoshi 12-year-old whisky is a prime example of the distillery's commitment to quality. This whisky is made using a blend of malt and grain whiskies that have been aged for at least 12 years in oak casks. The result is a smooth and complex whisky with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.

One of the unique aspects of Matsui Shuzo's production process is their use of local water sources. The distillery is located near the Chugoku Mountains, which provide a source of pure, mineral-rich water that is ideal for whisky production. This water is used to dilute the whisky to the desired strength before bottling.

In addition to the Kurayoshi 12-year-old whisky, Matsui Shuzo produces a range of other high-quality spirits, including sake, shochu, and gin. Each of these products is made using the same dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail that has made the distillery famous.

Overall, Matsui Shuzo is a distillery that is steeped in history and tradition. Their commitment to quality and their use of local ingredients make their products truly unique and highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts around the world.

Tasting notes
