Double Gold Medal - 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition 

Distiller Notes: 

"A single malt from the Kurayoshi Distillery, which resides in the foothills of Mt. Daisen. Released as part of the Matsui range, this particular expression has been matured in cherry wood casks - sounds rather intriguing indeed, doesn't it?" 

Tasting Notes: 

"This expression is aged in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred to American white oak barrels that have had the heads swapped out for Sakura oak heads for the final months of maturation. Sakura, most commonly known as “cherry blossom,” are Japanese ornamental cherry trees which are famous for their spectacular blooms of fragrant flower blossoms. An incredibly bright nose of strawberry and red apple is grounded by earthy aromas of minerals, wet clay, and young wood. The palate is fruity and floral, with apple notes leading subtle cacao, vanilla, cherry blossom, and oak tannins. Non-chill filtered." 

Nose: "Almond, faint hints of fresh orange and melon, sawdust spiciness." 
Palate: "Baking spices and citrus once again. A light whiff of spring blossom later on." 
Finish: "White pepper heat and vanilla sponge cake." 

Alcohol: 43%
