Malt Whisky 'Kurayoshi 18 Year

• Pure malt whisky sourced, blended, and aged by Matsui Whisky in Tottori, Japan
• 100% Japanese whisky sourced from undisclosed distilleries in Japan
• Aged for a minimum of 18 years in ex-bourbon casks
• Proofed with the soft groundwater of Tottori Prefecture’s Mount Daisen
• Brown butter, hazelnut, vanilla, sage, and cigar box greet the nose, priming the palate for baked cereal grain, vanilla cream, and mocha with stone fruit and toasted almond on a dry, leathery finish
• Non-chill filtered; 43% ABV

Aged nearly two decades, this elegant expression is a notable departure in style and profile from the younger, fruitier Kurayoshi expressions, displaying strong notes of leather and dry grain with deep undertones of oaky confection.
