Kurayoshi Whisky

   
   

Kurayoshi Whisky

Kurayoshi is a Japanese distillery located at the base of Mt. Daisen in Tottori, Japan. The location was chosen due to its climate, as the temperature variations lead to greater interaction between the cask and the spirit, resulting in exceptional whisky flavor. Additionally, the pure spring water used is considered by Kurayoshi Distillery to be one of the most essential and important components of great whisky.

Kurayoshi employs a variety of casks, including the Japanese oak type mizunara. They also use casks made of cherry wood, wine barrels, and sherry casks. The distillery is owned by Matsui Shuzo, a company that has been producing shochu since 1910. It wasn't until 2015 that they received a license for whisky production, leading to the creation of Kurayoshi. Explore our selection here and taste your new favorite from Kurayoshi.
  • Kurayoshi The Matsui Sakura Cask bottle with cherry blossom label
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972689

    Cherry wood casks are a rare luxury in the whisky world - Japanese wood in its most poetic form, used to give the whisky a touch of the homeland's spring.

    Expert Description

    Kurayoshi The Matsui Sakura Cask is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 48%.

    The whisky is produced by Matsui Shuzo, a distillery in Tottori prefecture with roots dating back to 1910, when the company started as a sake brewery. The Sakura Cask expression is finished in casks made of Japanese cherry wood, a technique that is both rare and demanding, as cherry wood is difficult to shape into casks.
