Description
Matsui Mizunara Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky single malt whisky distilled in the rich, natural environment of Tottori and aged in Mizunara (Japanese oak）casks.
Combined with the bitter flavor of unblended whisky, a faintly sweet, aged aroma tickles the nose with a smooth yet rich, lingering aftertaste.
This masterpiece, carefully crafted with heart and passion, is brought to proof with high-quality natural spring water from Mt.
Daisen.
If you want to see why Japanese oak can give the indigenous whisky industry a leg up on their rivals, then it might be worth tracking this down.
The flavour profile is really one, to the extent, that you see only in Japan and seems to give an extra sharpness to their malt; as though the colours on the nose and palate are pastel shaded and not just water.
A quite beautiful whisky, as elegant and delicate as a demure Japanese girlfriend in a flowing silk kimono.
