The Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whisky Sherry Cask

Description

Aged in oak casks for over 3 years, and then finished in sherry casks. The nose expresses notes of ripe fruit and chocolate. The palate mimics the nose with additional hints of citrus and lemongrass. Sweetness and tartness balance each other elegantly. The light finish is a reminder of Tottori’s pure spring water used during distillation. Not chill-filtered. COLOUR: Golden brown NOSE: Dry grass, walnuts, light sherry and chocolate PALATE: Watery mouthfeel followed by good heat Lemon grass, new potted malt and baked bread flavors FINISH: Sultana, Honey. Lingering bitter-sweet finish Awards: San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SWSC) 2019 : Silver Medal // International Spirits Challenge (ISC) 2019 : Silver Medal at the Tasting Awards in the category Japanese Whisky Malts No Age Statement // Ultimate Spirits Challenge (USC) 2019 : Finalist/94 points, Excellent, Highly Recommended.
