Description
The Matsui Sakura Cask Cask No. 318 is a single cask, cask strength single malt from Matsui Shuzo in Tottori prefecture, bottled in 2020 at 48% for the European market. Unlike Casks No. 319 and No. 326 in the same sakura series, the cask detail for this bottling records Japanese oak rather than a specifically identified sakura cask, placing it in a closely related but distinct wood category within the Matsui single malt range.
Japanese oak maturation gives a complex, multi-layered profile: the flavour data points to dried fruit, honey, malt extract, fresh fruit and a new-wood spice working together across the palate. The result is fuller and more richly fruited than the floral sakura cask siblings, with the Japanese oak contributing its characteristic warmth and depth at cask strength 48%. A detailed and well-structured single cask expression from Tottori, showing the breadth of native Japanese wood maturation.
