Matsui The Kurayoshi Sherry Cask Pure Malt Whisky

Matsui The Kurayoshi Sherry Cask, Pure Malt Whisky, Japan, 70cl

A blend of malt whiskies matured for 3 years in white oak barrels and finished in sherry casks.. A sweet aroma of fruits and chocolate matches with lemon grass-like citrus flavour. A balanced aroma and smooth lingering finish.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Colour: gold. Nose: a slightly bigger version, with the expected raisins and toasted brioches and breads. We’re rather in Founder’s Reserve territories, to give you an idea. Quite gentle so far, and well balanced. Mouth: a good drop for sure, with oranges at first, then more orange blossom water, oriental pastries, earl grey, those sorts of things. Finish: medium, all on orange-y things. Comments: I enjoy this little one. It’s fresh, it’s easy, and it’s well made. Good for summer, which is timely, isn’t it?"

WHISKY FUN, 2017

"Shows a pungent nose of iodine, orange blossom, key lime pie, and a hint of sweet malted barley. The palate is rich and layered with flavors of ripe cherry, toasted cocoa, banana bread, and a whisper of wood smoke."
