Awarded Best Japanese Blended Malt, 12 Years and Under at the 2021 World Whiskies Awards, the Kurayoshi 12 Year Old Whisky is a smooth and flavorful expression of Japanese craftsmanship. This world blended whisky is produced by the Matsui Shuzou distillery in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, and is crafted using a combination of malts sourced from Scotland and Japan.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Flamed orange peel, lemongrass, and a touch of rye bread dough.
- Palate: Aromatic barley with a floral edge, developing a fruity core of apple and white grape soon after.
- Finish: Lime, ginger, and a whiff of smoke.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat: Enjoy the whisky's full flavor and complexity by sipping it neat at room temperature.
- On the rocks: Chill the whisky with a few ice cubes to enhance its smoothness and open up its aromas.
- In cocktails: Use the Kurayoshi 12 Year Old Whisky as a base for classic cocktails like the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or Rob Roy.
