Kurayoshi 18 Year Old Pure Malt Whisky

Product Description

Kurayoshi 18 Year Old Pure Malt Whisky: 50% ABV Malt Whisky with Honey, Vanilla, and Smoke

Kurayoshi 18 Year Old Pure Malt Whisky is a blended malt expression aged for 18 years and bottled at 50% ABV. Available product information identifies a marriage of Scottish malt whiskies and Japanese whisky matured in American white-oak casks.

The long maturation creates a deep profile of honey, vanilla, spice, oak, and restrained smoke. Because “pure malt” is a blended-malt designation rather than a single-distillery statement, this bottle should not be described as Japanese single malt.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Honey, vanilla, mature oak, gentle smoke, and dried fruit. Palate: Sweet malt, warming spice, caramel, oak, and a light minty freshness. Finish: Long and warming, with smoke, vanilla, spice, and wood.

Food Pairings

Pair with roast duck, aged cheese, dried fruit, toasted almonds, dark chocolate, or honey desserts.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat, add a few drops of water, or pour over one large cube. Its 50% ABV rewards gradual dilution.
