Finish
Sweetness lasts long.
This blend of malt and grain is aged for over 3 years in bourbon casks. After meticulous blending, it is then finished in a Japanese red wine cask from the Tottori province for 3 over months. This red wine cask finish imparts delightful notes reminiscent of bittersweet caramel and chocolate cake, accompanied by an exceptional fruity flavor. The key factor contributing to the exceptional quality of this blend is the use of natural underground water sourced from Mount Daisen. The marriage between this pristine water and the carefully selected blend of whiskies results in a harmonious and well-balanced expression. Non chill filtered, natural color.
Kurayoshi Distillery
Located in the town of the same name in Tottori prefecture, has been producing Japanese spirits since 1910. Sake, shochu and brandy enabled this micro-distillery to develop unique expertise combining tradition with innovation. The distillery’s proximity to Mount Daisen means that it can draw on fresh water from this mountain’s generous snowfall. Whiskies from the Kurayoshi distillery have consistently impressed the judging panels of various international competitions and won numerous awards, in particular those based on exacting blind tastings. The Kurayoshi distillery’s production levels are low and stocks are very limited.
