The Matsui Single Malt Whisky-Matsui Sakura Cask | マツイシングルモルトウイスキー「松井 サクラカスク」

Produced by the historic Matsui Shuzo (Kurayoshi Distillery) in Tottori Prefecture, Japan.

• Flavor Profile: This expression is matured in rare Japanese sakura (cherry blossom) wood casks. The official tasting notes describe its palate as presenting malty aromas and a hint of bitterness, while a sweet and fragrant sakura blossom note unfolds and diffuses across the tongue. Furthermore, the use of soft, premium water from the Daisen mountain range contributes to a smooth and mellow mouthfeel.

• Label Design: The label features the artwork "Toryu Oniwa Zakura" by the late Edo-period ukiyo-e artist Eizan Kikukawa, elegantly embodying the cherry blossom theme.

• Accolades: This whisky has achieved the highest honors, having been awarded both "Japanese Whisky of the Year" and "Japanese Single Malt of the Year" in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024. It was the only whisky to receive this dual crown that year.
