Kaiyo Whisky Mizunara Oak Cask Strength
Kaiyo Whisky Mizunara Oak Cask Strength is a Japanese whisky known for its unique aging process in handmade Mizunara oak casks and a subsequent 3-month maturation at sea. This results in a complex flavor profile with notes of sandalwood, coconut, and vanilla, alongside hints of citrus and subtle spices. The cask strength version offers a bolder experience with a higher alcohol content.

Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Bright, fragrant aromas of green apples, crisp orchard fruits, and fresh cut grass blend with sweet notes of vanilla custard, honey, and a light malty undertone.
Palate: A smooth, light-bodied texture carries flavors of sweet malt, toasted cereal, and honeyed orchard fruit alongside subtle waves of toffee, vanilla, and gentle baking spices.
Finish: The short-to-medium finish leaves behind a mild, warming fade of pepper and sweet cinnamon spice, balanced by lingering hints of dry oak, malt, and a light grassy bitterness.
