The Tottori is the blended line of whiskies from the Kurayoshi distillery in Tottori, Japan. Kurayoshi is known for its fresh spring water which is best-suited for producing whisky to the finest. The name "Kurayoshi" in Japanese was originated from the phrase "Kurashiyoshi", which is translated to "Good Living" in English.

Kurayoshi 12yr Malt Whisky- The rich aroma of fragrant mixed nuts, including almonds and the heavy malt aroma spread throughout the mouth, giving a sense of the long-term maturation of over12 years.
