Matsui Kurayoshi 18 Year Old 700mL

Product Name : Matsui Kurayoshi 18 Year Old 700mL

Taste Profile : In the glass, Kurayoshi 18 Year Old glows with a deep golden amber hue, clear and vibrant, with long, slow legs that hint at richness and maturity. Its presentation is elegant yet restrained, in keeping with the Japanese aesthetic of balance and minimalism. The aroma is instantly inviting—layered and complex, yet delicate. It opens with classic notes of vanilla bean, honeycomb, and dried apricot, followed by subtle wafts of roasted almond, cedar wood, and orchard fruit. There’s an undercurrent of toffee and warm malt, along with faint hints of incense smoke, green tea, and white florals that rise as the whisky breathes. On the palate, it is smooth and elegant, with a medium-to-full body. The attack brings a gentle caramel sweetness, toasted oak, and marzipan, followed by flavors of fig, raisin, and orange peel. The oak is present but never overpowering, offering structure with soft tannins and a touch of spice—nutmeg, clove, and a whisper of ginger. The finish is long, warming, and dry, echoing with lingering notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and dried fruit, plus a faint whisper of smoke and mineral chalk that gives depth without heaviness.
