Matsui Whisky’s The Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whisky comes from the renowned Kurayoshi Distillery in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, at the foot of Mount Daisen. This region is renowned for its exceptionally pure spring water, which plays a crucial role in the production of this exceptional Japanese pure malt whisky. Kurayoshi is blended from selected, matured malts, some of which are distilled in Japan and some in Scotland, before being blended together in oak casks in Japan. This process creates the characteristic balance of gentle fruitiness, light smokiness and harmonious spiciness that defines the style of Japanese whiskies.


At 43% ABV, this pure malt whisky is well-balanced, elegant and pleasantly approachable. Maturation in oak casks creates a harmonious blend of mild oak, sweet vanilla and subtle cereal notes. Bottled without excessive intervention, The Kurayoshi Pure Malt embodies the philosophy of the Japanese art of whisky-making: precision, purity and balance. The elegant gift box (+ GB) emphasises the premium character of this bottling and makes it a special choice for connoisseurs of authentic Japanese whiskies.
