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.
