Description
The Kurayoshi Pure Malt Matsui is a distinguished Japanese blended malt produced by the historic Matsui Shuzo distillery. Located in the Tottori Prefecture, the distillery benefits from the pristine, mineral-rich groundwater of Mount Daisen, which is naturally filtered through volcanic stone to provide an incredibly soft and clean profile for proofing. This expression is a meticulous marriage of selected malts, including whisky sourced from outside Japan. As Japanese whisky has gained international acclaim, this pure malt offers an approachable introduction to the Kurayoshi range. This 750ml bottling offers an authentic texture and depth of flavour. Whether you are starting out or expanding your personal collection, this bottle is an excellent entry point into the world of Japanese malt artistry.

- Nose: Inviting scents of sweet honey and crisp orchard fruits, followed by a delicate layer of floral jasmine and soft oak.
- Palate: A silky mouthfeel revealing a balance of toasted cereal, malty sweetness, and hints of pear, underpinned by a light citrus zest.
- Finish: Lingering and elegant, with a subtle dryness, a touch of salt, and a faint echo of almond skin.
To fully appreciate the soft water source of this pure malt, we recommend serving it neat or with a few drops of chilled spring water to open up the bouquet. It also performs exceptionally well in a traditional Highball, mixed with quality soda water and plenty of ice to emphasize its refreshing character.
