About
Located in Kurayoshi City in the foothills of Mt. Daisen, Tottori Prefecture. Matsui Shuzo founded 1910 as shochu maker, acquired whisky license 2015, began distillation 2017 with three 1000L pot stills. Expanded with 3000L and 5000L pot stills. Originally controversial for using imported bulk whisky before in-house production started. Now produces 'The Matsui' single malt (peated, sakura cask, mizunara cask variants) and 'The Kurayoshi' pure malt. Extreme seasonal temperature variation (-freezing to 38C) aids cask maturation. Name means 'good living'.
