WHISKY JAPANESE

KAIYÕ WHISKY JAPAN Kaiyō whisky is matured in the finest Japanese Mizunara oak casks. These casks are handmade, are among the rarest casks in the world and considered the finest in which to mature whisky. After years of maturing our casks go on a final maturation at sea voyage for up to 3 months, leaving from Osaka, Japan. Kaiyo Means: Ocean Kaiyo Mizunara Aged Whisky 86PF / 750ML Un-Chillfiltered made from Malted Barley. Delicate nose with vanilla, ripe dried fruit and hints of cherry, with a long lingering finish. Kaiyo Mizunara Aged Cask-Strength Whisky 106PF / 750ML The cask strength version of Kaiyo Mizunara is a stronger, more intense version of the regular edition with everything turned up. The orange peel notes and oak spices on the nose jump out of the glass, the sandalwood and vanilla are bold on the palate, and there’s a lot more concentration of oak on the finish. It’s a more expressive and intense version of the desired Mizunara influence. Extremely smooth with great complexity and a lovely balance of fruit, silky malt, and a touch of dark chocolate. Kaiyo The Peated Japanese Mizunara Oak 92PF / 750ML Un-Chillfiltered made from Malted Barley. Kaiyo The Single 7 Year 96PF / 750ML Mizunara Oak Finished, notes of Coffee, Malt, Malted Barley. Honey, Coconut, and Vanilla on the palate. Kaiyo The Sheri Japanese Mizunara Oak 92PF / 750ML Per our master blender, this whisky does not require tasting notes it is said the be his finest work in his 15 year career. This is a once in a life time whisky to be shared and savored on your whisky Journey. His dream is to share this whisky with his daughters at their wedding.

Why is Mizunara Oak Different? What makes mizunara oak distinct from European oak and White oak? For one, it enjoys a unique sweet and spicy flavor profile which can be attributed to the oak lactones ratio and high level of vanilla. Aromas evoked from the mizunara oak are kara, a type of oriental incense, sandalwood, and coconut. Research studies have shown that mizunara matured whisky contain more lactones (parts per million) than whiskies matured in either European oak or White oak. An even more riveting discovery was the prevalence of “trans-oak” lactones in mizunara whisky. This was a remarkable find as it was thought that “cis-oak” lactones can possess a smell up to ten times stronger than “trans-oak” lactones.
