Tasting advice
Ice ball, straight, highball.
This whisky, carefully crafted by the Kurayoshi distillery, is matured in cherry wood (Sakura) casks. After ageing for 3 years in white oak casks, it benefits from a 3-month finish in Sakura casks, giving it delicate cherry blossom aromas. The result is a harmonious, medium-bodied whisky that combines floral elegance with subtle sweetness. Every sip reflects the refined beauty of Tottori Sakura. A key factor in this exceptional quality is the use of pure water from Mount Daisen, which, combined with a careful blend of whiskies, produces a perfectly balanced expression. Unchill-filtered, it preserves all the authenticity of its flavours.
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.
