The Matsui Mizunara Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70cl

The Matsui Mizunara Cask Japanese Single Malt Whisky 70cl is a premium expression from the Kurayoshi Distillery in Tottori Prefecture. Crafted with meticulous care and aged in rare Mizunara oak casks, this Japanese single malt showcases the unique influence of one of the world’s most prized and challenging woods.

Mizunara oak, native to Japan’s northern forests, takes up to 300 years to mature and is known for its distinct aromatic profile. Representing just 10% of Japan’s ageing barrels, Mizunara imparts unparalleled complexity—floral, spiced, and silky in texture. The whisky is diluted with pure spring water from the Daisen Mountains, adding a crisp clarity to the final expression.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fresh and floral with layers of sweet vanilla, baking spice and a gentle hint of creamy coconut.

• Palate: Velvety and rich with warming notes of oak, cinnamon, ginger, chilli spice and smooth toffee.

• Finish: Long and elegant, showcasing caramel, floral oak, tobacco leaf and vanilla pod.

Encased in a beautifully illustrated bottle featuring “Umezawa in Sagami Province” by Hokusai, this whisky is both a sensory and visual masterpiece. Ideal for collectors or fans of Japanese whisky seeking something with tradition and character.

Whether enjoyed neat or gifted to a connoisseur, The Matsui Mizunara Cask is a must-try for lovers of refined, complex drams.
