The Matsui Mizunara Cask
Kurayoshi
Tasting Notes
Imagine a whisky that encapsulates the essence of Japan in every sip. The Matsui Mizunara Cask is a masterful craftsmanship, aged to perfection in the rare and revered Mizunara oak casks. As you uncork the bottle, an inviting floral aroma greets you, accompanied by sweet vanilla and baking spices, with a hint of creamy coconut. The velvety mouthfeel unveils a symphony of flavors – rich oak, cinnamon, ginger, and a touch of chili spice, delicately balanced by the sweetness of toffee. As the smooth and silky caramel lingers on your palate, notes of floral oak, tobacco, and vanilla pod dance in harmony, leaving a lingering, memorable finish. Crafted at the Kurayoshi Distillery and blended with the pristine waters of Mt. Daisen, this no-age-statement single malt whisky is a true celebration of Japanese artistry, with the iconic Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji adorning the bottle, featuring the graceful red-crowned cranes native to the Land of the Rising Sun.
