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.
