A blended malt from a little-known Japanese whisky producer, Matsui Suzhou. It's made with whiskies sourced from Scottish distilleries, blended with Japanese whisky and volcanic-stone-filtered water. The distillery is located in the Tottori Prefecture, the least populous prefecture in Japan, well-known for its sand dunes.

Nose: Sweet oak and honey, with a hint of earthy peat.
Palate: Sherried malt comes through first with notes of raisin and cinnamon, shortly followed by toasted nuts and vanilla pod.
Finish: Touches of fresh fruit sharpness and floral barley.
