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. The 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. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAged in rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks, The Matsui Mizunara Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky was blended with water from Mt. Daisen. Bottled at 48% ABV, the bottle boasts Katsushika Hokusai’s Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji with red-crowned cranes, native to Japan. Expect a fresh, floral aroma followed by a velvety mouthfeel with flavors of cinnamon, ginger, rich oak, and a touch of chilli spice. You’ll be delighted by the smooth and silky finish with notes of caramel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Matsui Mizunara Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky was awarded the prestigious world’s Best Japanese Single Malt award with a rating of 95\/100 in the Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGet your bottle today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\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.
