Tasting Notes
Nose: The fragrance is alive with dried apricots, sweet toasted malt, sandalwood, and toasted spices.
Palate: A rich note of toasted granola clusters opens on the tongue followed by sultanas, stone fruits, baking spices, and vanilla cream.
Finish: The finish is long and warm with honey and a surprising whiff of something smoky at the end of it all.
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.
Tasting Notes
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.
