Why buy Whisky The Tottori Blended

Tottori Blended Whisky is made in honour of the art of Japanese whisky making and the province of Tottori which has been home to the distillery since 1910. It is a very limited handcrafted production that owes its high quality to the clean, fresh water from Tottori's natural springs and ageing for three years in toasted oak casks.

Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

The first thing that strikes the eye about The Tottori Blended is its bright light golden colour.

When poured into the glass and allowed to aerate, the aroma is elegant, balanced, of ripe fruit with hints of spice from the oak.

Finally, on the palate, the flavour is rich, sweet, fruity, floral, spicy, vanilla, chocolate, with a refined, long-lasting, oaky finish.

Pairing. How to taste it

We at Yo pongo el hielo recommend serving it neat or on the rocks to enjoy its nuances even more.

A little bit of history about The Tottori Blended...

Matsui Shuzo is the oldest registered corporation in the Tottori region of Japan. The distillery is located in the foothills of Mount Daisen, which is located in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. One of the most important factors that led them to choose this location to build the distillery was the purity of the water in the area, which is an important ingredient for the distillation of the whisky, as well as the quality of the barley from which it is made. All this, added to the meticulous distillation process, results in a spirit of very special quality and nuances.

When it comes to the ageing process, special casks that are only used in Japan such as Mizunara (Japanese oak) and Sakura (cherry wood) are used in harmony with the classic ex-bourbon and sherry wine casks.

The Matsui team has passed scrupulous blind tastings at prestigious international competitions that recognise quality and excellence in whisky and 2019 was the first time it won several major awards at: World Whiskies Awards, San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Whisky Competition, in the United States.
