The Tottori Blended Japanese Whisky

The Tottori Blended Japanese Whisky is the blend expression of Matsui Shuzo's portfolio from Tottori prefecture, released for the European market in 2017 at 43% in a 500ml bottle. As a blended whisky incorporating both malt and grain components, The Tottori's composition may draw on a mix of domestic and sourced stock, and the house stays neutral on the specific origins. Ex-Bourbon cask maturation is the single constant across the range at this level.

The flavour profile for this bottling records vanilla, chocolate, citrus and dried fruit alongside a leather note and a light solvent edge that is characteristic of young grain components. The finish is clean and moderately brief, with the bourbon-cask sweetness carrying through. At 43% and in a 500ml format, this is a practical everyday blended whisky from Tottori, positioned for casual enjoyment rather than contemplative sipping, and a faithful introduction to the Matsui Shuzo blended style.
