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.

Independently Owned
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.

Nose: Heather Honey with hints of cinnamon and toffee bonbon. Very subtle hints of peat smoke.
Palate: Creamy vanilla spice gives way to more overt smoky charcoal notes, especially with the addition of water. Smoke doesn't dominate and is balanced by the sweet honey and spice flavours.
Finish: Full bodied, silky mouth feel with a dry, tangy and lingering aftertaste, coupled with delicious spice notes.
