A whisky that truly embodies the meaning of the name Kurayoshi: the city of water and green. Tottori is also very well-known for its soft mineral water and abundance of nature. Over 14% of the total land area of the prefecture is designated as a Natural Park. <\/p>\n<p>Matsui Shuzo is both a sake brewery and shochu distillery.&nbsp;Kurayoshi is a 100% malted barley whisky, sourced from distilleries around Scotland, before making their way to Japan, where it is blended with Japanese whisky, aged and cut to proof with the soft ground waters of Tottori Prefecture. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cComplex and depth in taste by allowing it to mature for more than 18 years.
