Pure Malt 12y

About

The Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whisky, aged 12 years, is a distinguished Japanese whisky crafted by the Matsui Shuzo Distillery. This whisky beautifully balances tradition and modernity, incorporating pure water sourced from volcanic rock and select Scottish malts. It is aged in oak casks, which impart a sophisticated and layered character. On the nose, the whisky reveals aromas of charred orange peel, lime blossom, and a hint of almond. The palate is a harmonious blend of vanilla, raisins, and a subtle smokiness. The finish is long and satisfying, with notes of caramel and chocolate, and a lingering hint of melon and papaya. This whisky is ideal for savoring on a quiet evening, possibly paired with decadent desserts like chocolate fondant.
