The Kurayoshi 18 Year Old Whisky

Decent whiskey. Tastes a bit too butterscotchy, and sharp for the price and age. Not as complex, round as a $50 bottle of quinta ruban.

Dubious history, excellent whiskey. Well blended, balanced and smooth. I was unsure about buying given the history (no doubt in keeping with many of the other more recognised Japanese Brands) but it was well worth it. I suspect this will sky rocket price wise in the near future.

Awesome. Bright killer with mixed nuts. Cuts through figs almonds and raisins with a spicy finish. Try with a la mosa du cuba cigar and tell me what you think. Almost like an over proof highland on its own.

Very Sandalwood aromatic alike Oak taste, it develop and last till finish.

My wife is a non-whisky drinker, but she fell in love whisky after tasted this bottle. I was lucky to grab 2 bottles of this in Osaka Airport last year.

Some said Kurayoshi is an infamous brand, but trust me. The taste profile is truly mind blowing like others quoted.

Rarely is there a whiskey with 3 distinct flavour profiles in each sip. Initial orange flavour gives way into black tea into a Smokey finish at the end.

Pretty mind blowing. I rarely share this bottle with anyone else.

A little grass, a lot of oak. Oranges & black tea. Long sweet & smokey finish.

Tried it in a bar in Tokyo. I was blown away by the complexity of flavour. Unbelivable.
