From the Kurayoshi Distillery comes The Matsui Mizunara Cask, which unsurprisingly has been aged in rare Japanese Mizunara oak. The no age statement single malt was bottled at 48% ABV, after blending with water from Mt. Daisen. On the bottle, you can see Katsushika Hokusais Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, featuring red-crowned cranes which are native to Japan.

Nose:A fresh, floral aroma followed by sweet vanilla and baking spice, with a touch of creamy coconut.

Palate:A velvety mouthfeel with rich oak, cinnamon, ginger, and a touch of chili spice, balanced by toffee sweetness.

Finish:Smooth and silky caramel lingers alongside floral oak, tobacco, and vanilla pod.
