This whisky is matured in the finest Mizunara oak casks. Our pioneering research into the effect of wood selection on whisky maturation has led to the development of bespoke barrels, crafted from slow growth, air-seasoned wood from hand-selected trees. These casks are handmade due to Mizunara oaks delicate wood grain.This spirit is gently matured in traditional style for many years before it embarks on its unique sea voyage. Mizunara oak casks are the most expensive casksin the world and considered the finest to mature whisky.

OCEAN MATURED Centuries ago, it was discovered that whisky improved dramatically during long sea voyage in oak casks. The rolling of the sea, and temperature variations, worked with air pressure and weather changes to round off the spirit in a beautifully complex way. To replicate that voyage, we send our whisky on its own journey for up to 3 months, from Japan. Kaiyo whisky truly has a journey of its own, before it makes its way to your glass.

Delicate nose with vanilla, ripe dried fruit and hints of cherry, with a long lingering finish
