Description

Matsui Shuzo is a Japanese distillery that has been producing high-quality spirits for over a century. The Matsui is one of their most popular products, and it is easy to see why. This unique whisky is aged in Sakura casks, which gives it a distinct flavour and aroma that is unlike anything else on the market.

The history of Matsui Shuzo dates back to 1910, when the company was founded by Kurayoshi Matsui. Since then, the distillery has been passed down through the Matsui family, and it is now run by the fourth generation of the family. Matsui Shuzo is located in Tottori Prefecture, which is known for its pure water and ideal climate for whisky production.

The Matsui is made using a blend of malt and grain whiskies, which are aged in oak barrels before being finished in Sakura casks. Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossom, and the casks are made from the wood of cherry blossom trees. This gives the whisky a delicate floral aroma and a subtle sweetness that is balanced by the smoky, peaty notes of the malt whisky.

The Matsui is a smooth and easy-drinking whisky that is perfect for sipping on its own or mixing into cocktails. It has a light golden colour and a complex flavour profile that includes notes of vanilla, honey, and citrus. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of spice that adds depth and complexity to the whisky.

Overall, the Matsui is a unique and delicious whisky that is sure to impress even the most discerning whisky connoisseur. Its distinctive flavour and aroma make it a standout among Japanese whiskies, and its high quality and attention to detail ensure that it will continue to be a favourite among whisky lovers for years to come.
