About Kurayoshi Distillery:

Kurayoshi Distillery is a Japanese distillery associated with the city of Kurayoshi, nicknamed the city of water and greenery. It lies at the foot of Mount Daisen and relies on high-quality local water, which is absolutely essential for whisky production. Thanks to significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year, the whisky matures faster here than in some other well-known whisky regions. The distillery focuses on smaller-scale, meticulous production and an emphasis on quality at every step. A major role is played by maturation in various types of casks, including casks made from mizunara (Japanese oak), sakura, as well as former wine or sherry casks. The distillery’s philosophy is based on the idea of creating a whisky that will find its way to the widest possible circle of lovers of this spirit.
