Kurayoshi Distillery lies between Osaka and Hiroshima in the foothills of Mount Daisen, where it produces single malt whiskies brought to proof with soft, mountain spring water. The label, adorned by Hokusai’s The Great Wave, portends this whisky’s rush of flavor: satisfyingly smoky, with noticeable structure and complexity. Kippers on the nose, with burnt aromatic grasses, cocoa, and jellied fruits, and a smoky palate of red apple, ginger, pepper, orange, and mango. Smoke writhes like a serpent on the finish, sliding off the walls dripping with sweet tropical fruits.
A great care was given during the selection of malted Barley which was then peated. The master distiller believes that the quality of grain has a strong impact on distillation, aging and the complexity of the final product. Aged for 3 years in American oak in the Tottori prefecture in a natural environment very favorable to a good aging. It is then diluted down with high quality natural spring water from Mont Daisen.
“The Peated” expresses sweetness and fruitiness with a smoky finish. Artwork “The great wave” by Katsushika Hokusai.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Loads of fresh and toasty malted cereal aromas, supported by earthy peat and swirls of smoke and a touch of vanilla oak.
Palate: Toasty oak, brown sugar, creamy vanilla and a touch of orchard fruit, all enveloped by ashy smoke.
Finish: Peat smoke and fresh apple linger.
