The Matsui is Kurayoshi Distillery's line of exceptional Single Malt. The range also includes a whiskey-based Umeshu. Each label in the range has been carefully thought out. Katsushika Hokusai, with his series of prints "36 Views of Mount Fuji", was chosen to illustrate the strength of "The Matsui - The Peated" Single Malt with his famous print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". His vision of "Umezawa in Sagami province" was chosen to represent the freshness of "The Matsui - Mizunara cask" single malt. Finally, it is the artist Kikukawa Eizan and one of his many portraits of a woman walking in a Sakura field that has been chosen to represent the delicate Single Malt 'The Matsui - Sakura cask' with the print "Beauty in the Cherry blossom Garden".
The Matsui Single Malt collection contains three 20cl bottles of The Matsui whiskies:The Peated, The Sakura and The Mizunara.
The Matsui The Peated is a Single Malt distilled by the Kurayoshi distillery, located in Tottori prefecture. Special attention was paid to the selection of the malted barley which was peated.

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.
