2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

The Kurayoshi 18 Years Old Japanese Pure Malt Whisky (Japan), 50% abv, $250.00, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Bold and brawny, the distinct notes of charred hinoki cypress, leather, and black pepper and tamed by delicate wafts of vanilla, ume plum, cruised apple, toasted almond and nori. Exceptionally nuanced and incredibly smooth, a true sipping whiskey to be enjoyed slowly and tenderly.
