Kikukawa Eizan's “Portrait of a Fashionable Cherry-blossom Viewing Party”.

Kikukawa Eizan's masterpiece, which expresses the elegance of cherry blossoms, the delicacy of Japanese women, and the strength of their core, is perfect for the Matsui Sakura Cask, which has a solid core behind its sweet aroma. You can enjoy the label and taste, both visually and tastefully.

The Matsui Sakura Cask Single Malt Whisky comes from the Kurayoshi Distillery, which resides in the foothills of Mt. Daisen. Released as part of the Matsui range, the Kurayoshi Matsui Sakura Cask Single Malt Whisky has been matured in sakura wood casks.

On the nose, the Kurayoshi Matsui Sakura Cask Single Malt Whisky shows off almond, with faint hints of fresh orange and melon, together with a sawdust spiciness. The palate reveals baking spices and citrus followed by a light whiff of spring blossom later on. The Kurayoshi Matsui Sakura Cask Single Malt Whisky finishes with white pepper heat and vanilla sponge cake.
