TheWhiskeyRecord - Annual Whiskey Awards 2020 - World Whiskey Gold Medal
We are proud to announce the Kurayoshi 12 Year Old from Matsui Distillery as TheWhiskeyRecord World Whiskey Gold Medal winner for 2020.
The Matsui distillery located on the Tottori Prefecture has developed an intriguing range. These whiskies are made with malts sources from Scotland, then blended with Japanese whisky and volcanic-rock-filtered water. Our favourite is the 12 Year Old aged in ex-bourbon white oak barrels.

Our thirst for that perfect whiskey drinking experience is strong. We believe we can achieve an evolved state of whiskey living through following our 4 principles.
