The Matsui Single Malt Sakura Cask

A single malt from the Kurayoshi Distillery, which resides in the foothills of Mt. Daisen. Released as part of the Matsui range, this particular expression has been matured in cherry wood casks - sounds rather intriguing indeed, doesn't it? Nose: Almond, faint hints of fresh orange and melon, sawdust spiciness. Palate: Baking spices and citrus once again. A light whiff of spring blossom later on. Finish: White pepper heat and vanilla sponge cake.
