The Matsui The Peated
Kurayoshi
Tasting Notes
This peated whisky from the Kurayoshi Distillery in Japan is a captivating blend of smoky and sweet flavors. The Matsui The Peated greets the nose with a delightful combination of fresh, toasty malted cereal aromas, complemented by earthy peat and swirls of smoke, with a touch of vanilla oak. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of toasty oak, brown sugar, creamy vanilla, and a hint of orchard fruit, all enveloped in a veil of ashy smoke. The finish lingers with the essence of peat smoke and fresh apple. Meticulously crafted through pot distillation and matured in white oak bourbon casks, this whisky is bottled at a robust 48% ABV. The bottle itself is a work of art, adorned with Katsushika Hokusai's iconic "The Great Wave," symbolizing the spirit and force of the whisky within. A true masterpiece for whisky enthusiasts seeking a unique and flavorful experience.
