The Matsui Mizunara Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70cl

The Matsui Mizunara Cask Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70cl is a stunning example of refined Japanese craftsmanship, aged in rare Mizunara oak casks sourced from northern Japan. Distilled at the Kurayoshi Distillery in the Tottori Prefecture, this elegant single malt is crafted using fresh mountain spring water from the Daisen Mountains and matured in one of Japan’s most elusive oak varieties.

Mizunara oak is famed for its rarity and complexity, imparting a distinctive profile of spiced wood, florals, and sweet vanilla that defines this exceptional whisky. With only around 10% of aged Japanese whisky matured in Mizunara, The Matsui offers a rare and luxurious tasting experience.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fresh and floral with vanilla, baking spice, and delicate notes of creamy coconut.

• Palate: Velvety and smooth, featuring rich oak, cinnamon, ginger, and a subtle hint of chilli, balanced by toffee sweetness.

• Finish: Long and silky, with lingering notes of caramel, floral oak, vanilla pod, and a hint of tobacco.

A Rare Mizunara Oak Masterpiece

The Mizunara oak used in maturation takes over 200 years to mature and is native only to select regions of Japan. This oak lends a signature aromatic complexity and honeyed woodiness, resulting in a whisky with a distinctly Japanese elegance.

The label features “Umezawa in Sagami Province” by renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai, symbolising the cultural reverence and artistry behind every bottle.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy neat or with a drop of cool water to unlock its full complexity.

• Ideal pairing with lightly smoked dishes, spiced nuts, or vanilla-based desserts.
