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: Complex, spicy, with notes of sandalwood, coconut, vanilla, exotic spices, honey, dried fruit, and sweet oak.
Palate: Powerful, creamy, with notes of dark chocolate, honey, cloves, roasted malt, and subtle nuances of incense, leather, and floral notes imparted by the Mizunara oak.
Finish: Long, complex, with a warm blend of vanilla, oak spice, and subtle smokiness.

Nose: Rich aromas of oak, brown sugar, and vanilla mingle with bright orange peel and delicate floral undertones
Palate: A thick, creamy texture delivers a strong punch of tart fruit, caramel, and soft spice with a firm oak astringency
Finish: Medium-long, the finish leaves a bitter-sweet lingering note of burnt oak, dried fruits, and warming cloves.
