{"product_id":"matsui-kurayoshi-pure-malt-12-year-old","title":"Matsui Kurayoshi Pure Malt 12 Year Old","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatsui Kurayoshi 12 Year Old is a premium blended malt produced by the Matsui Shuzou distillery in the Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1910, the distillery is located near Mount Daisen, drawing on the mountain's volcanic-rock-filtered spring water to achieve its signature clean profile. In line with the \"World Malt\" tradition, this expression is a blend of malt whiskies sourced from Scotland and Japan, which are then married and aged for at least 12 years in ex-bourbon white oak barrels. This long maturation in the varied climate of the Sea of Japan coast allows the spirit to develop a depth and complexity that belies its \"pure malt\" classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhisky Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis whisky presents a rich golden amber colour. The nose is fragrant and multi-layered, featuring flamed orange peel, lemongrass, and toasted almonds, with a soft undertone of rye bread. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-balanced; an initial burst of aromatic barley and floral notes evolves into a fruity core of red apple, white grape, and dried raisins. The oak influence is evident through smooth vanilla and hazelnut flavours, accented by a very faint, wispy hint of smoke. The finish is long and elegant, leaving behind a refreshing trail of lime, ginger spice, and a touch of dark cocoa. It is bottled at 43% ABV (or 46% in certain markets) and is non-chill filtered to preserve its natural oils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300053 - David Herman \u0026 Son Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48349893755092,"sku":"835391","price":126.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/5732729-835391.jpg?v=1784800776","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/matsui-kurayoshi-pure-malt-12-year-old","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
