While the juice in Kurayoshi is 100% malted barley, the spirits themselves are sourced from distilleries around Scotland and Japan before being blended and aged (3–18 years), after which the whisky is proofed down with the famously soft ground waters of Tottori Prefecture. This pure malt whisky has been aged for more than 3 years in ex-bourbon casks. The texture is soft, and the nose fragrant. The flavor is reminiscent of nuts and dried figs, with a subtle kiss of vanilla.
