This distillery is directly within sight of Mount Daisen — a volcanic peak rising more than a mile above the surrounding fertile plains. This volcanic environment has a spring water source used to distill their Sake, Shōchū, and Whisky and bring it to proof. This distinctive water has filtered through the volcanic stone for eons — resulting in an incredibly pure, distinctive soft mineral composition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Matsui Shuzou Distillery produces some highly regarded whiskies— including some single malts under the Kurayoshi brand as well as five-grain whiskies under their Tottori label. Matsui The Peated is a unique Japanese peated single malt distilled in the modern Kurayoshi Distillery owned by Matsui. Bottled at 48% ABV, this peated single malt can compete with the best single malts from Islay, awarded 87 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, receiving a Strong Recommendation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up your bottle today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Japanese Whisky\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough maybe not be the first Spirit you would think of when Japan is mentioned; the Japanese make one of the best types of whisky in the world.
