Matsui Sakura Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky [700ml]

A single malt from the Kurayoshi Distillery, which resides in the foothills of Mt. Daisen. Released as part of the Matsui range, this particular expression has been matured in cherry wood casks – sounds rather intriguing indeed, doesn’t it?

‘The Matsui – Sakura Cask’ is distilled by Kurayoshi, Kurayoshi city – Tottori prefecture.
Aged in Sakura, famous and iconic Japanese cherry tree. This tree holds an important place in Japanese culture. It often used as a metaphor on ephemerality of beauty and life. It always has been a source of inspiration for Japanese artists. Aging takes place in the Tottori prefecture in a natural environment where temperature vary drastically from season to season. It is then diluted down with high quality natural spring water from Mont Daisen.

This masterpiece made with heart and passion by the Matsui team!
