Kurayoshi Distillery

The Kurayoshi Distillery, located in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, is an artisanal producer specializing in whisky. Founded by Matsui Shuzo, a company with over a century of experience in distilling sake and shochu, the distillery is renowned for using pure water from the springs of Mount Daisen, which imparts elegance and finesse to its whiskies. Its spirits are distinguished by a smooth, balanced, and refined style, with particular attention to aging in oak casks, often ex-bourbon or ex-sherry. Kurayoshi is internationally appreciated for the harmony of its whiskies, which succeed in blending Japanese tradition with Scottish inspiration.
