46% abv – Ripe and complex in flavor after having been aged for a minimum of 8 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, this malt has aromas of sweet fruit and hues of pale gold and orange. The palate stands out with fragrances of candied nuts. The mouth-feel is very soft and the finish medium-long.

Founded in 1910, Matsui Shuzo is located in the Tottori Prefecture, Northwest of Kyoto and Northeast of Hiroshima, on the shore of the Sea of Japan.

While the juice in Kurayoshi is 100% malted barley, the spirits themselves have been sourced from distilleries around Scotland before making their journey to Japan, where they are blended with Japanese-distilled malted barley then aged (3-18 years).
