Significantly spicier than the standard Tottori Blended Whisky, the combination of new oak and first-fill, ex-bourbon casks provides a bold bourbon character to Matsuis fruit-forward house style. A delightful sipper in its own right, the bourbon notes make this an excellent cocktail whiskytry it in a Julep with fresh shiso leaves!
