The San-In Ex-Bourbon Barrel showcases Kurayoshi’s mastery in creating new and distinct flavor profiles. Matsui’s own single malt whisky and single grain whiskies sourced from an undisclosed distillery are aged in white oak ex-bourbon barrels, blended & bottled by Kurayoshi, and proofed with water from Mount Daisen. A familiar, confectionary nose of maple syrup and vanilla meet a round palate of toasted biscuit, pear, orange zest, and lemongrass. Bottled at a higher proof than the standard San-In, the extra bite is tempered by the robust finish provided by the bourbon cask. 43% ABV.
