The Matsui is Kurayoshi Distillery's line of exceptional Single Malt. The range also includes a whiskey-based Umeshu.
The Matsui The Peated is a Single Malt distilled by Kurayoshi Distillery, located in Tottori Prefecture. Particular attention was paid to the selection of the malted barley which was peated. The master distiller rightly considers that the quality of the grain has a strong impact on the distillation, aging and complexity of the final product. Double distilled in American oak barrels, then aged in a natural environment favorable to aging, The Peated evokes sweetness and fruit with a smoky finish. This masterpiece is made with care and passion and is reduced with natural spring water from Mount Daisen.

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.
