44% ABV
Malt Whisky made on a Coffey still at the Nikka Distillery that is teaspooned with malt from another unnamed Japanese Distillery. All of the Kaiyo Whiskies are aged in Japanese Mizunara Oak, a slower growing, porous grained variety of oak that is much rarer and prized than the ubiquitous American White Oak or European varieties. Because the trees do not grow straight vertically and have a higher water content, it takes nearly 200 years for a Mizunara Oak tree to be large enough to be harvested.
After a 7 year land based aging, the whisky is then put on a ship for a 6 month "sea voyage" which exposes the casks to wide temperature and air pressure fluctuations and nearly constant movement, accelerating the exposure of whisky to oak staves. This is an approachable expression that has the characteristic incense aromas that Mizunara tends to impart with some floral notes and honeyed sweetness.
