A new wind of Japanese Whisky.
Matsui Shuzo has been producing Shochu and Sake for over a century but only got the license to distill Whisky in 2015. The first drops of Whisky were produced in 2017 in the famous Kurayoshi distillery at the foothills of Mount Daisen. The crystal clear water is filtered through volcanic rock, which gives their Whiskies, Sake, and Shochu a distinctive character.
The Tottori Blended Japanese Whisky is a homage to the home province of Matsui. It’s matured in ex-Bourbon casks, which makes it an especially intriguing Japanese dram.

Blended Japanese Whisky

Japanese Single Malts, like Scotch, are double-distilled in pot stills. Grain Whiskies, on the other hand, are distilled in column stills.
In recent years, Japanese Whiskies have won several top prizes at the World Whisky Awards and have consistently scored higher than Scotch Whiskies in blind tastings. Talk about a student surpassing the master!
Japanese Whisky is connected both to Scotch and Bourbon. It’s a Scotch-style Spirit that’s matured in climates similar to Kentucky’s.
The two biggest Whisky producers in Japan are Nikka and Suntory, major rivals.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
