Kurayoshi Whisky embodies the essence of “kurashiyoshi”—meaning “good living”—a phrase that resonates with the city where this exceptional distillery resides. This expression is a celebration of Japan’s rich heritage in blending and aging whiskies, offering a distinctly Japanese profile that stands out in the world of spirits.

Crafted with 100% malt, Kurayoshi is aged for a minimum of three years in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in sherry casks, a process that imparts a unique depth and complexity. The whisky is proofed with the famously soft groundwater from Mount Daisen in Tottori Prefecture, ensuring a smooth and refined finish. Bottled without additives or coloring, this whisky is a true representation of purity and craftsmanship.

Tasting Experience:
– Nose: A harmonious blend of ripe berries, lemongrass, and dark chocolate.
– Palate: Citrus zest and fresh field greens greet you initially, followed by the rich flavors of sherry and young strawberries.
– Finish: Medium-length with a lightly tart note that lingers pleasantly.

With an alcohol content of 43%, Kurayoshi Whisky is perfect for those seeking a sophisticated and flavorful drinking experience. Whether you’re a seasoned whisky enthusiast or new to Japanese whiskies, Kurayoshi offers a unique taste that sets it apart from standard expressions.
