About this bottle
Kurayoshi 8 Year Sherry Cask is a Japanese pure malt whisky from Matsui Shuzo's distillery in Tottori, aged a full 8 years and finished in sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV. The sherry influence runs through the whole profile — dried fruit and nutty sherry sweetness on the nose, layered with baking spice and a hint of smoke on the palate, finishing long and slightly oaky. It's a step up from Matsui's entry-level expressions, with the stated age and sherry-cask character doing real work rather than just marketing language. Good for neat sipping if you want an accessible, sherry-forward Japanese whisky without hunting down the harder-to-find single malts.
How to drink Kurayoshi 8 Year Sherry Cask
Drink it neat or with a few drops of water to open up the dried fruit and spice — it's rich enough to stand on its own without ice. It's also a good entry point if you're moving from sherry-cask Scotch into Japanese whisky.

Questions about this bottle
How should I drink Kurayoshi 8 Year Sherry Cask?
Neat, or with a few drops of water to open up the dried fruit and spice — it's rich enough that ice tends to mute it.
Is Kurayoshi 8 Year a single malt?
No — it's labeled a pure (blended) malt whisky, made by Matsui Shuzo, rather than a single malt from one distillery.
What gives this whisky its dried-fruit character?
A full 8 years of aging finished in sherry casks, which is stated on the label rather than just implied — the sherry influence runs through the nose, palate, and finish.
