From the Kurayoshi Distillery comes The Matsui Mizunara Cask, which unsuprisingly 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 Hokusai’s 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 chilli spice, balanced by toffee sweetness.
Finish: Smooth and silky caramel lingers alongside floral oak, tobacco and vanilla pod.

Jim Murray gave this gem 95 points. He was exactly right. The light fresh floral nose leads into a complex palate with traces of orange peel, oak and a delicious sweet caramel flint. Its very light in colour, but don't let that put you off - it makes up for it in flavour and character as all Japanese whiskys are famous for doing. Big strong characters..small marketing budgets. They let the whisky do the talking for themselves. I tried this as the Hey Whisky 2020 Fair in Shenzhen and IMHO would rate it BEST In SHOW!!A wonderful dram for any whisky connoisseur 🙌🙌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely delightful, I purchased mine for only 60 SGD at a liquor store in Japan and it was well worth the price! The notes by the Master of Malt are pretty much on point, but I would say I got a bit of raisins and bright green apples on the nose as well. The lingering subtle smoke on the finish wasn't something I expected, but I loved it. Would highly recommend if you are able to get it locally in Japan, and if you do not mind the controversy that had plagued the Matsui Shuzo brand in the earlier years.
