Kaiyō whisky is matured in the finest Japanese Mizunara oak casks. These casks are handmade due to Mizunara oak’s delicate wood grain. They are among the rarest casks in the world and are 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.
Nose: Spiced oak, fresh lemongrass and orange oil.
Palate: Peppery at first, though soon enough wafts of buttery pastry, clove and espresso develop.
Finish: Lingering peppercorn heat and a whisper of caraway.
