Kaiyō Japanese Mizunara Oak Cask Strength Whisky

TASTING NOTES  Kaiyō Cask Strength extremely smooth with great complexity and a lovely balance of fruit, silky malt, and a touch of dark chocolate. Kaiyō, meaning "ocean," is a blended malt whiskey distilled in Japan from unrevealed sources. It is matured in Japanese Mizunara oak barrels crafted by the Ariake cooperage in Kyoto for an undisclosed amount of time. The whiskey then begins a sea voyage from Osaka, Japan, for up to three months, allowing the whiskey to ocean-mature. The movement, temperature variation, and air pressure all play a factor in this final step. The whiskey is un-chill-filtered and bottled at a cask strength of 53% ABV
