Matsui Peated Single Malt Whisky is a robust and savory peated whisky which is quite distinct from the iodine heavy, briny Scotch profile. Young, yet refined, this whisky showcases Matsui’s deft hand not just at blending and aging, but distillation as well.

This peated expression is produced using heavily peated barley and is aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a robust and savory peated whisky which is quite distinct from the iodine heavy, briny Scotch profile. Aromas of umami-rich peat smoke waft from the bottle, bringing oceanic salt, black tea, bacon, and bonito flake along for the ride. The palate echoes the nose while dialing in on Oolong tea, basil, white pepper, and wet gravel. The finish is dry and leathery with notes of ginger, mushroom, persimmon, and cedar.
