Distillery: Matsui
Even the most ardent fans of Japanese whisky would be forgiven not to have heard of the Matsui distillery, which is located in Tottori, a coastal prefecture on southern Honshu mostly known for its sand dunes. It is also the location of Matsui Breweries, which makes traditional Japanese sake and Shochu, as well as whisky. This bottle, the Kurayoshi Malt Whisky has gained attention in Japan, as Ji-whisky makers tend to be far more modest when it comes to ageing than Matsui is. This particular whisky is a 1910 sherry cask release.
